This series of works for Canary Wharf’s signature building are millennial in their conception. If you look closely at the apparently rusty discs, hundreds of embossed names are revealed. Some are immediately recognisable, others more obscure, but all are artists, composers, writers and architects who made their mark in the twentieth century.
