Where Is Your Favourite Space on the UCL Campus?

ProfJoeCain answers question from UCL Talking Heads: What is your favourite place on campus?

UCL Talking Heads asked me to answer some questions about student life and teaching at the university. In this film, I answer the question, “Where is your favourite space on the UCL campus?” This is a project for UCL, and I’m thinking about the Bloomsbury Campus in central London.

Full playlist on YouTube.

Edmund A. Parkes Megaloceros 2008, Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, Crystal Palace Park, London Statue from Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the British Museum, Hoa Hakananai’a (or Stolen Friend) Regular Contact With Anyone Interested The Brown Dog and His Memorial Bernissart Iguanodons Flight of the Langoustine, by Pierre Diamantopoulo MRSS. It is made of four life-size bronze figures flying through a steel grid. It was inspired by a discarded and mangled lobster pot that the artist had found on Brighton beach. In his imagination, the washed-up object that had seemingly helped the lobsters escape, translated itself into a wider story of human exodus and release – a dash for freedom. Diamantopoulo describes the figures as “at once profound, frivolous and boisterous, occupying the air like a flock of birds and inspired by modern dance choreography”. Bronze casting at Milwyn Foundry and fabrication of the steel grid and assembly by Art Fabrications. The sculpture weighs 2.2 tonnes and measures approximately 3.5 metres high and 3 meters wide. Flight of the Langoustine was inaugurated on the Hove Plinth on 17 September 2023.
