Installation
25 January 2025–26 January 2025
Stock: Variation on a Fountain
Main Lane
Abbas’ installation, inspired by historical fountains, uses marble and found materials from the Avenue’s own storage to create seating and water features. A reminder of the area’s industrial past, the piece invites reflection and rest, with materials set to return to their original stockpiles when the installation is complete.
