Today (Monday 26 July), Selfridges has officially unveiled a new monumental public art commission by multi-disciplinary artist Osman Yousefzada at its Birmingham store. The iconic building, famous for its bulbous blue shape and large silver disks is now covered by the worldÕs largest canvas showcasing Osman YousefzadaÕs black and pink patterned design. This new art installation, entitled Infinity Pattern 1, is dramatically changing the Birmingham skyline as it stretches over 10,000 sq meters (nearly 50 meters in height and 250 metres in length and weighing 5 tons). A radical new landmark for the city, Infinity Pattern 1 addresses the issues of race, labour and migration, which have shaped BirminghamÕs past and present, but also carries a deep sense of optimism, connectivity and hope. For Osman, who is Birmingham-born, and the son of Pakistani-Afghan migrants, the work contains some autobiographical elements, but at its core it stages the concept of a world without borders, whether physical or imaginary, represented by the endlessly tessellating pattern. OsmanÕs design was chosen following an international competition led by Ikon, Birmingham, the highly esteemed art gallery, which has also curated an exhibition and art trail in-store, inspired by OsmanÕs work. The art installation will remain in place whilst the store is undergoing major renovation work due to complete ahead of the Commonwealth Games next year.
