Out & About
Work has started on installing an iconic artwork in the Olympic Park that was inspired by popular music – including the songs of Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. RUN, created by internationally-renowned artist Monica Bonvicini, will be the largest standalone artwork on the Olympic Park and will be situated on the plaza on the 6,500 capacity Copper Box (the new name for the London 2012 Handball Arena). The artwork is set to become a significant point of interest both during the Games and for years afterwards, when the Olympic Park is opened up as Britain’s largest urban park for over a century. It forms part of the ODA’s Art in the Park programme and is funded by the London Development Agency and the Greater London Authority. It features three 9 m tall letters forming the word RUN in capital letters, each weighing ten tonnes. The letters are constructed from steel and reflective glass – producing a mirrored effect during the day and a playful glow at night, through the innovative use of LED lighting that will reflect off a series of internal curved mirrors. It will take around six weeks to fit all the components to the letters, including the glass and 305 metres of energy efficient LED lighting. [CWMAGS] |
