Student Protesters - "brown doggers" - Disrupt Anti-Vivisection Meeting Evolution - A Journal of Nature - cartoon from issue 07 Evolution - A Journal of Nature - cartoon from issue 10, 4 Lockdown cultures - Hove 2020 Lockdown cultures - Hove 2020 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.
