"Mira Calix’s Nothing Is Set In Stone is a musical sculpture made of gneiss stones. The monolithic installation is at Fairlop Waters, a nature reserve in the borough of Redbridge until September 9th 2012. This interactive sculptural song invites the public to contemplate the modulations within nature and the ephemeral quality of music.
Nothing Is Set In Stone is part of Secrets Hidden London, inititated by the Mayor of London, it is a series of extraordinary site-specific collaborations taking place in a range of unusual locations across the capital in summer 2012, led by major artists and leading cultural organisations (for more information visit: www.molpresents.com). Nothing Is Set In Stone is also part of the London 2012 Festival, a UK-wide festival from 21 June to 9 September featuring leading artists from around the world - for more information visit: www.festival.london2012.com."
"The visitors’ book reveals an overwhelmingly positive response to the installation. A sole voice says “what a waste of taxpayers’ money” but other comments include “an amazing work of art” and “it needs a permanent location”." The Ilford Recorder quotes Calix as saying that people are asking for more artwork in Redbridge and that Redbridge Vision are keen on the idea. I, for one, certainly hope that that will be the case.
