Terrace Wires 2016 unveiled at St Pancras International

High Speed 1 Ltd. (owners of St Pancras International station) and the Royal Academy of Arts will unveil this year’s eagerly anticipated Terrace Wires art installation - the station’s commissioning programme for new artwork by leading, international artists. Thought of Train of Thought by Ron Arad RA will be exclusively revealed at St Pancras International station on the morning of 7 July 2016.

This is the second instalment of a four year partnership between HS1 Ltd. and the Royal Academy for the station’s public sculpture series, following Cornelia Parker RA’s One More Time in 2015. This year marks the fourth year of the Terrace Wires commission at the station.

Terrace Wires is a highly visible programme for public art, suspended from St Pancras International’s Barlow Shed roof. It offers 48 million travellers and visitors each year the chance to experience the latest contemporary art as they pass through the station. The continued partnership between HS1 Ltd. and the Royal Academy of Arts builds on the shared belief of bringing art into the community while celebrating the approach of both the Royal Academy’s 250th anniversary and the 150th anniversary of St Pancras station in 2018.

Thought of Train of Thought by Ron Arad RA can be viewed at St Pancras International station until January 2016.
