SpY Installs Hundreds of Metallic Rescue Blankets in a Former Arms Factory — Colossal

In Oviedo, Spain, a remarkable art installation is currently on display at a former arms factory. Spanning an impressive 6,000 square meters, the installation features metallic emergency blankets that have been skillfully arranged to create a stunning visual display. This captivating artwork, titled “Blankets 2,” is part of a series of monumental kinetic works by Spanish artist SpY.

The blankets, which shimmer in gold and silver hues, reflect the natural light that filters in through the building’s windows and clerestory. The play of light and shadow on the folded blankets creates a mesmerizing effect, enhancing the sense of depth and openness within the space. The artist deliberately chose to use emergency blankets as a way to draw attention to the building’s history as a weapon manufacturer, juxtaposing the objects meant for medical care against the backdrop of a former factory of destruction.

SpY’s fascination with sensory perception is evident in “Blankets 2,” as he explores how simple objects can be transformed through repetition, light, scale, and contrast. The movement of air through the space adds an ethereal quality to the installation, causing the blankets to gently sway and creating a soft rustling sound that accompanies visitors as they move through the exhibition.

For more of SpY’s captivating works, you can visit his website and follow him on Instagram. Additionally, a video showcasing the installation can be viewed on Vimeo, offering a dynamic perspective of the artwork in motion.

The images of “Blankets 2” captured in the article provide a glimpse into the immersive experience of the installation, highlighting the interplay of light, texture, and space. The artist’s thoughtful approach to transforming the former arms factory into a space of contemplation and beauty is truly commendable, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on a sensory level.
