Completion of London 2012 arts programme

The artworks, which have been created through the Olympic Delivery Authority’s (ODA) Art in the Park programme, were announced as complete to mark the programme launch of the London 2012 Festival - the 12 week UK-wide celebration featuring leading artists from around the world from 21 June - 9 September.




















Art in the Park:  

•    The ODA’s arts and culture team commissioned a range of artists, local, national and international, to provide the Park with a range of voices, and all works have been absolutely specific to the site, where artists have been asked to respond to the physical, social and historical context of the area.  All of the commissions have been appointed through a competitive process to ensure that the best and most appropriate artists have been selected to deliver the ODA’s ambition.

The full list of artworks is here:

The Shoal - Stratford

The Shoal is a public realm intervention, which aims to improve the urban continuity and legibility of the existing 1970ʼs Stratford Centre. In the 70ʼs, the Stratford Centre was created with a positive frontage to the existing high street to itʼs south. With the introduction of the Stratford bus interchange, and later, the refurbishment of Stratford Station to the north, the ʻbackʼ of the centre, with its delivery bays and car parking ramps, became much more visibly public. Recently, the Olympic Park and the Westfield Centre entrances have been established to the north meaning that the ʻbackʼ has very much become the front: the entrance to Stratford.
