Empire State relocates to South Bank

Evening Standard10 April 2012

An eight-hour film by Andy Warhol, a single, stationary shot of the Empire State Building, is to be projected on to a building on London's South Bank.

Empire, made in black and white in 1964, shows nothing more dramatic than the occasional plane flying past the skyscraper as day gradually turns to night.

The full 485-minute film will be projected tonight and every Friday this month from 5pm to 1am on the National Theatre fly-tower to promote the Hayward Gallery's new exhibition, Universal Experience: Art, Life and the Tourist's Eye.
