It has been announced by the Mayor of London that Antony Gormley has been selected for the Fourth Plinth commision.
Antony Gormley’s proposal One and Other is that the Fourth Plinth is occupied for 100 consecutive days, 24 hours a day, by members of the public who have volunteered to stand on it for an hour at a time. Over this period 2,400 people will be able to participate. Antony Gormley said: “Through elevation onto the plinth and removal from common ground’, the body becomes a metaphor, a symbol and allows us to reflect on the diversity, vulnerability and particularity of the individual in contemporary society.”
