From 24 Hour Musuem:
With its bold 1960s styling, Leeds International Pool has been loved and loathed by local people in equal measure, but now, prior to a major redevelopment, it is to be transformed into an iconic temporary artwork.
The pool has been a controversial building and an integral part of the cityscape of Leeds for the past four decades; now the disused sports complex is to become the site of an ambitious installation created by acclaimed international artists and architects OSA (Office for Subversive Architecture).
OSA are hosting The Accumulator, which will transform the building into a virtual water collector via a huge textile funnel in the building’s central glazed roof space.
