Quayola, a London based artist, has created a new multi-screen video-installation premiering on October 7-9, 2011 at the renowned Palais des Beaux Arts in Lille, France’s second museum after the Louvre, as the opening of their 2011-2012 season. Strata #4 is part of his on-going series of films, prints and site-specific installations for the project devised to challenge accepted perceptions of classical art, architecture and iconography.

You can watch a great interview of Quayola on The Creators Project and get behind-the-scenes info here.
