Plinthing

A good friend of ours, Tony, on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square in the early hours:

Well done that brave man Very Happy

Quote:
This summer, sculptor Antony Gormley invites you to help create an astonishing living monument. He is asking the people of the UK to occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in London, a space normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals. They will become an image of themselves, and a representation of the whole of humanity.

Every hour, 24 hours a day, for 100 days without a break, a different person will make the Plinth their own. If you're selected, you can use your time on the plinth as you like. One & Other is open to anyone and everyone from any corner of the UK. As long as you're 16 or over and are living or staying in the UK, you can apply to be part of this unforgettable artistic experiment.

You can play your part in making this idea a reality - either by volunteering yourself, by telling others about it, or by experiencing it online or in the square itself.


And yes, he does get a lot of abuse up there at 2 - 3 am in London!

Completely lost on me I am afraid.

Looks like a fat bloke who can't sing to me. Am I missing something?

Yeah, he's a good friend of mine. I hadn't heard of this plinthing malarky.

Well, as a good friend, perhaps you should tell him something...

How did he get up there BTW?

You didn't watch the start then?
Silas

Sorry I missed that bit.

It does seem rather an odd thing to do, but then many people would say that sitting up a tree for hours shooting things was a bit odd too, so who am I to pass judgement on the chap's idea of a good time?

It's an interesting project, was really surprised to see him up there!
