| It's not just the big shopping streets that get lit up over Christmas. The Hayward has a more artistic take on the festive illuminations. They've collaborated with contemporary British artist Anya Gallaccio who has created site-specific installations at Tate Britain and the Wapping Project. Last year's Festival Remix by David Batchelor, inspired by the refurbishment work on Royal Festival Hall, will also return as part of the festivities. His work transforms workmen's tools from bins, pallets and cement mixers into extraordinary glowing forms and lights in recycled plastic bottles. Go along for the switching on ceremony on 6th December and you can browse the Christmas shops all along the South Bank to a soundtrack of festive songs sung by Southbank Centre's Voicelab choir. |
