World, a permanent art work at BBC’s Broadcasting House in central London, was opened to the public on 7 June by HM Queen Elizabeth II. The work, which takes the form of a public square, was commissioned by the BBC through Modus Operandi art consultants in 2002, following an invited competition among a selection of internationally renowned artists.

“World connects the buildings of the BBC’s expanded Broadcasting House to each other and to the city around them. Its surface describes an imaginary fragment of the globe, marked with lines of longitude and latitude and the names of hundreds of places. Lights scattered across its surface suggest the habitats of Man as they might be seen from high above, or the stars of the Milky Way in a flight of one’s imagination. Voices whisper in different languages from the ground. Names of places have been chosen and positioned based on Pimlott’s personal knowledge, memories and fantasies. As they are read by a strolling viewer, the names and their sounds create the possibility of a poetic litany that rouses myriad associations and images. Inspired by flying over the earth at night and listening to late-night broadcasts, the entire square as it is seen, heard and felt is intended to evoke the mystery of elsewhere; an other world, familiar, distant, strange: our great dwelling.”

A short film about World, featuring Mark Pimlott and Prof Dr Mary Beard, was made for the BBC, on the new facilities of Broadcasting House.

Mark Pimlott’s public art work Cardinal Seat was completed in April 2013 and joins the earlier work Railing Hall, as part of East architects’ improvement of the public spaces and infrastructure of Rainham Village, Essex.

Mark Pimlott was commissioned to make a new work, Some clearings, for the exhibition Radical Autonomy/ nieuwe werelden van niks at Netwerk, Aalst, Belgium, curated by Arno van Roosmalen (Stroom Den Haag), Paul Lagring (Netwerk) and Sophie Legrandjacques (Le grand café, Saint-Nazaire). It featured the artists Karla Black, Etienne Chambaud, Edith Dekyndt, Simon Dybbroe Møller, Sean Edwards, Ryan Gander, Mark Geffriaud, gerlach en koop, Benoit Maire, Ane Mette Hol, Navid Nuur, Gabor Ösz, Mark Pimlott, Gert Robijns and Joëlle Tuerlinckx. The exhibition ran from 16 April through 19 June 2011.

“I make photographs of sites, each of which appear to contain the idea of a place. Through looking and attending to these settings, and their presentation as photographs, I hope that one might come to an understanding about things, people and nature, and the relationships that bind them all together. Each photograph constitutes an attempt to capture the fact of being in a specific place: a moment of consciousness, with its myriad associations and possibilities; together, they describe a world of connected ideas. This particular series of photographs of some clearings for seeing where and how and what we make and dream and are, is proposed as a hypothetical roll of film, whose thirty-six exposures draw together different aspects of one greater place, whose parts are connected across space and time. The photographs were made over a period of twenty-five years of places that, whether new or ancient, considered or forgotten, are tied together by shared desires, ideas, forms and effects.”

Mark Pimlott was external examiner of graduating students of ateliers of Sergison, Quintus Miller and Esteve Bonell at l’Accademia dell’architettura, Università Svizzera Italiana, Mendrisio, 9-10 June, 2011.
