Fine Artistes Performing at World Expo 2010


Fine Artistes have been invited to perform at the UK Pavilion during the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai.
70 million guests are expected.The Pavilion (above)is an astonishing structure that will house The Seed Cathedral - a collection of examples of plant seeds that was pioneered by Kew Gardens' Millennium Seed Bank.
The Pavilion is made up of 60,000 light-catching rods that will direct light into the building and will illuminate one seed each. We will be creating a whole host of new pieces specially designed to appeal to the waiting crowds outside the UK Pavilion.
