Ahead of their commission for The Curve, we meet United Visual Artists in their studio to find out more about their work, 'Momentum'

Amidst the final weeks of Pop Art Design and installing United Visual Artist’s new work in The Curve, Momentum, alongside preparations for the much anticipated arrival of The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier and Digital Revolution, Jane Alison, our new Head of Visual Arts, finds the time to share a day in her Barbican life in our latest Meet the Barbican

Wandering around the Barbican’s highwalks can be quite the artistic adventure in itself, letting you discover hidden views and sculptures before you even arrive at the Barbican.

We talk to our Contemporary Music programmer, Chris Sharp to learn more about his work and Barbican experiences. 

Until retiring in summer 2018, Neil Anderson was the Barbican’s Head Craftsperson, responsible for managing and maintaining the second largest Conservatory in London.

Choreographer Wayne McGregor discusses the making of Random Dance’s unique series of performances with music composed by Max Richter, in rAndom International’s Rain Room in The Curve.

What does it feel like to control the rain?
