Transportal, my kinetic sculpture for the Play Me, I’m Yours project has been installed at Canada Square Park in Canary Wharf (E14 5AH). Follow the links above and click on a piano location to post and/or view films, photos, and comments on our pianos!

Update: Due to adverse weather, Transportal has been relocated to Canary Wharf Crossrail Station, West End Lobby, 1st Floor.

Great news! I have been commissioned by Canary Wharf Group PLC to create “The Moving Piano”, a large-scale kinetic sculpture that will transform an actual piano. The work will be exhibited in Canary Wharf, London, in September 2015 as part of the “Play Me, I’m Yours” project.

Touring internationally since 2008, “Play Me, I’m Yours” is a project by Luke Jerram. Reaching over six million people worldwide – more than 1,300 pianos have already been installed in 45 cities across the globe, from New York to Paris, bearing the simple instruction “Play Me, I’m Yours”.

Located in public parks, bus shelters and train stations, markets and even on ferries the pianos are available for any member of the public to play and enjoy. Who plays them and how long they remain on the streets is up to each community. By creating a place of exchange Play Me, I’m Yours invites the public to engage with, activate and take ownership of their urban environment.

I have been interviewed by Anda Buševica of Latvian Radio 1 about my work, Transportal, and the Play Me I’m Yours project at Canary Wharf, London. The radio show will be aired on October 3rd at 3:05pm local time. If you’ve missed it, a recording of this broadcast can be found on LR1 webpage link above.

Transportal is a large-scale, interactive installation which has transformed an actual upright piano into an assemblage of different means of transport. It is currently being exhibted at Canary Wharf’s Crossrail Station in London, as part of the Play Me I’m Yours project. The project is commissioned by Canary Wharf Group PLC and it is being curated by Cara Jean Flynn.
