The Fourth Plinth

Post 1

At 0900 this morning, Anthony Gormley's 'One and Another' living art project came to an end. For the past 100 days, people have been occupying the empty 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square for one hour each, round the clock - a total to 2,400 people. They were able to use their hour's time for whatever purpose they chose. Over 34,500 people applied for a slot, from which these 2,400 were selected.

They are all profiled on the web site http://www.oneandother.co.uk/participants where you can watch the whole of their performance or whatever it was they chose to do. I have been browsing through some of these and there were some facinating ideas demonstrated.

I haven't seen anything like them all, but I particularly loved the 0100 am guy yesterday (Tuesday 13 Oct) Ben2Frog - wierd but wonderful

Beware though, browsing is *very* addictive and there is 2,400 hours of it to watch!!!
