The committee would like to commission a distinctive art project inside the Concert Hall, where light will be an important feature. The space, which opens up from the ground floor outside the Multipurpose Hall and traverses five floors, presents the most interactive aspect of the whole building. An art project situated here would become a distinguished feature and be of great importance to the impression of this large public space. This is where visitors best can experience the interior dimensions of the Concert Hall. It is also where most people will interact with other visitors as they scale up and down the stairs.

This part of the Concert Hall has large glass facades and a colour scheme and choice of materials that contribute to erasing the division between the exterior and interior spaces. The light and open ambience created here contrasts with the thick, red atmosphere that envelops the concert experience in the other part of the building. This openness is an important premise for works of art that could enhance the distinct impression of the building, upon arrival area as well as from afar. Similarly, works around the amphitheatre will be important to the experience and the overall impression from inside, looking out through the glass.

This space was initially intended to contain a chandelier or several light sources, and an art project situated here will, therefore, need to preserve the level of light set for this area. A work of art for this location must have a clear identity and function independently, including during the day. Close interaction with the architecture is also a prerequisite.

An international pre-qualification stage for entrance into a limited competition will be announced in September 2009.
