Brad Downey Long Weight

Downey has spent several weeks ensconced in Ringway’s road building depot. Befriending staff and commandeering supplies, he has created a series of sculptural interventions to be placed around Ashford’s ring road. For Long Weight Downey has mounted functioning Puffin crossing units at the top of four-metre columns. Pedestrians will have to work collectively standing on each other’s shoulders to achieve their goal of changing the lights, enabling them to cross the road. Gmn = (8pG/c4)Tmn is an implosion of signage sucked from the extremities of Ringway’s compound into a black hole located a metre above the site’s reception Portakabin.

Long Weight The Junction of Elwick Road and Station Road
Gmn = (8pG/c4)Tmn - The Ringway Compound, Elwick Road
