The Fourth Plinth
He is asking the people of the UK to occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, a space normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals, in an image of themselves, and a representation of the whole of humanity.
Marc Quinn's sculpture Alison Lapper Pregnant was the first new commission for the Fourth Plinth under the auspices of the Mayor of London’s Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group. It was in place in the square from September 2005 until October 2007. Visit the Fourth Plinth website for more information about art works on the Fourth Plinth - past, current and future. The Fourth Plinth programme is part of the vision for Trafalgar Square to be a vibrant public space and to encourage debate about the place and value of public art in the built environment. |
