BSL Guided Tour of the 14th Edition of Sculpture in the City
Tuesday 23rd September 2025 | 5-7.30pm
Led by Artist Duo, Jane & Louise Wilson
Curated and produced by LACUNA
Attendees joined artist duo, Jane & Louise Wilson, on an exclusive walking tour of the 14th edition of Sculpture in the City, which features their new work Dendrophiles. They explore the sculptures, and encountered their new site-specific commission, Performance of Entrapment, at London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE.
Dendrophiles, highlights hidden stories beneath London’s modern architecture, exploring the fragile connection between The City’s high-rise skyline and its ancient past. Situated beneath the escalators of The Leadenhall Building, the work combines ink drawings based on images of 3D scans of ancient oak that date over 2,000 years old. These timbers were excavated on the site of Bloomberg’s European headquarters and may have once supported a crossing over the River Walbrook, linking the City’s present with its past.
Performance of Entrapment extends these themes in a site-specific installation at London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE, that weaves archaeology, film, and contemporary art into an immersive reflection on time, renewal and ancient shrines.
Together, the two works form a dialogue between the City’s ancient foundations and its contemporary structures, inviting audiences to reflect on what is preserved, and passed on from one generation to the next.
The Sculpture in the City 14th Edition event programme is supported by Activations & Promotions Partner, Eastern City BID – the Business Improvement District for the Eastern City.
