March 2017

A 4-metre concrete block rises and rotates in mid-air, and stands out among 200+ galleries at the Armory Show.

In 2017 the International Exhibition of Modern Art in New York unveiled Drifter: a massive block of “concrete” floating in the air, presented by Pace Gallery as an artwork by Studio Drift.

The kinetic sculpture plays with weight and weightlessness — a confusing, enchanting experience that set itself apart from the offerings of more than 200 galleries.

What made it possible

Our flying and control technology. The block rises, floats and rotates on every axis, following a precise, silent choreography.
