TETROMINOES - bespoke art in Shanghai

By Gossamer

TETROMINOES is a bespoke art installation located on Shanghai’s renown cultural and historic high street, Yuyuan Road.

For the next 10 months it will play a part in a broader urban revitalisation plan to renew the city’s former international concession.

TETROMINOES transforms its context into a multi-dimensional stage for creative exploration.

Each sculpture is carefully assembled using welded steel rods to form three-dimensional grids.

Designed by multidisciplinary studio Gossamer, the installation’s a geometric structure composed of four orthogonally connected cubes arranged in various ways. The studio says it reflects and reinterprets patterns prevalent in its urban setting.

Each piece weighs between 400 - 750 kilograms.

Playing on the repolarisation of 80s themes and iconic forms in pop culture, TETROMINOES immerses you into a digital world set in reality.

Blurring the boundaries between the virtual realm and reality, the fluorescent blocks appear to have fallen from the sky, landing on the bustling street-side plaza.
