Artichoke presents Sanctuary, a Covid memorial by David Best

In May 2022 Artichoke will present Sanctuary, a unique public memorial to commemorate the nation’s loss during Covid. Situated in Bedworth’s Miners’ Welfare Park, the temporary structure will be open to leave messages and mementoes, providing a space for the public to unite in memory.

On Saturday 28 May, the 22m high memorial will be set alight, with the burn acting as a symbol of rebirth. The intricately carved wooden structure will be created by the Burning Man artist David Best in collaboration with members of the local community.

Andy Warhol’s Silver Clouds installation creates an immersive experience born out of the artist’s interest in innovation and experimentation. First shown in April 1966 at Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City, this work was developed with engineer Billy Klüve. Heralded a meaningful shift in Warhol’s creative practice, the floating metallic balloons are inflated with a proprietary mixture of air and pure helium, enabling them to float mesmerizingly in the space between the floor and the ceiling. From 1962 to 1967, Warhol ran “The Silver Factory: as his artistic studio. The colour silver is of great significant to the artist as it represents the past as well as the future.
