Koo Jeong A x Wheelscape, Evertro, 2015. Commissioned by Liverpool Biennial and Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson

Liverpool, UK 2015

Project Status: Completed

Budget: Confidential

We were approached by artist Koo Jeong A to assist in creating a three-dimensional concept design based on her ideas for a new glow-in-the-dark skatepark in Liverpool. The design responds to its immediate surroundings, as well as drawing on Koo Jeong A’s references to diamond shapes and forms conceived through the artist’s interpretation of the area. This permanent sculpture is a new public space for the city and a fully functional wheels park, open to skaters and BMX bikers to use and enjoy. Evertro is part of the Everton Park Action Sports HUB. 

''The work is an interesting meeting of public art and the regeneration of a deprived area of the city, bringing together local skateboarders, the city council, neighbourhood community groups and Liverpool Biennale in this single pioneering project.'' (The Guardian)
