Circling the Square Part 2 update

Some of you may recall that, on January 15 this year Circling the Square, a public art by Kate Davis and David Moore (ME-WE), was installed on the newly developed, pedestrianised space in Berkeley Square, on the corner with Davies Street.

Since we celebrated the launch of this work - commissioned by Grosvenor Britain & Ireland - all our lives have been changed by the Covid-19 virus pandemic.

From the start of their project, Kate and David have placed public participation and engagement at the heart of the conception of the work and its time on-site in the Square. Sadly, because of the current lockdown, the work cannot be visited and experienced live and the planned changeover of imagery cannot yet take place. However, in the meantime the artists have put together new photographic images and words, which they intended to install on the work at the point of changeover. The new images and texts were re-imagined to reflect the very much changed situation we all find ourselves in but also to continue to engage with the specific location of Berkeley Square, its people and histories. As this is no longer able to take place yet, they would very much like to share them with you.

We would also like to use this opportunity to thank you for your support of the Berkeley Square Public Art Programme and to send you, your family and those close to you, our very best wishes at this difficult and worrying time.

Please stay safe and well.
