The Consultancy team has recently curated a loan collection for the newly opened Circle hospital in Bath. Circle Hospitals are committed to transforming the patient experience and redefining healthcare, and have commissioned a number of new buildings from world-renowned architects.
This collection of 14 large-scale works from both emerging and established artists complements the bold Foster + Partners' design and reflects the beauty of the rural landscape in which the hospital is sited.
Themes of disrupted or imagined landscape run through the collection, and a focus on abstracted forms creates a space for contemplation, appropriate to the healthcare context.
A BBC news report on the hospital design, including the artworks, can be viewed here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8569732.stm
