David Cakes has been commissioned to create a replica in cake of the most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK, Turning the Place Over is artist Richard Wilson’s most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool’s city centre literally inside out. One of Wilson’s very rare temporary works, Turning the Place Over colonises Cross Keys House, Moorfields. It runs in daylight hours, triggered by a light sensor You may have seen this amazing piece of public artwork feature on UK Channel 4s Big Art series recently, presented as an icon of UK public art. Despite initially being a temporary public artwork until 2008, Richard Wilsons Turning the Place Over is now in its 2nd year. To celebrate this, Liverpool Biennial are throwing it a birthday party. Launched in 2007 to international acclaim, this radical intervention into architecture is now an established icon of Liverpools extensive public art offer. Artist Richard Wilson will be speaking at the celebratory birthday event about his reaction to how well the artwork has been received over the past 2 years. As well as this, Davids Cakes of Distinction, located in Crosby, are producing a 4ft x 4ft fruit cake of the artwork, including a rotating sugar ovoid ! Turning the Place Over consists of an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing ‘window’, offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours.
