A huge new Tracey Emin artwork is coming to St Pancras station

Ailis Brennan2 March 2018

Tracey Emin is to install a new artwork at St Pancras International, having been selected for this year's Terrace Wires Commission.

The work, entitled I Want My Time With You, 2018, will be suspended from the ceiling of the station, above the Grand Terrace and in front of the DENT clock.

The 20 metre long artwork will be unveiled on April 10 2018, replacing The Interpretation of Movement (a 9:8 in blue) by Emin’s fellow Royal Academician, Conrad Shawcross.

I cannot think of anything more romantic than being met by someone I love at a train station and as they put their arms around me, I hear them say ‘I want my time with you’”, said Emin. “It is also a statement that reaches out to everybody from Europe arriving in to London”

The commission is a partnership between the Royal Academy and St Pancras International, which will be celebrating their 250th and 150th anniversaries respectively this year.
