Tripping the light fantastic

Article Abstract:

Artist Peter Fink designed an outdoor laser sculpture which traces the Meridian Line from the Greenwich Old Royal Observatory, London, England, to be unveiled on May 01, 1993 when the refurbished Observatory re-opens. Laser-scientists helped with data to make it completely accurate. Fink, who studied engineering at Prague University, had to organise planning permissions and meet the requirements of the civil aviation authority. American company Horizon Laser Graphics supplied 35,000 pounds sterling of equipment.

Look, everybody, no hands!

Article Abstract:

Scottish sculptor Ian Hamilton employs a select team of engravers, ceramicists, glass-makers and architects around the UK to produce his work. Finlay has worked with the Carving Workshop since 1989 which is based in Cambridge, UK. Hamilton's technique of delegation was utilised by artists, such as Rubens and Rembrandt. The technique was not so popular during the 19th with the advent of Impressionism which focused on individualism. Without delegation many artists would not be able to achieve the volume of work.
