As long as it lasts by Simon and Tom Bloor, and curated by Gavin Wade, consists of a body of new works inspired by the artists’ interest in modernist sculpture and flawed utopias.The Bloors have produced a series of new sculptures as unrealised proposals for public artworks inspired by the concrete ‘play sculptures’ of artists Bryan Blumer (1925-1981) and John Bridgeman (1916-2004), commissioned in the 1960’s by the City of Birmingham Public Works Department as part of the landscaping schemes for the new housing estates and redevelopment areas in the city. The Bloors’ interest in the utopian potential and the failed reality of such development projects has further led to the use of sculptural elements within the exhibition.
