The empty Fourth Plinth at Trafalgar Square
The End of the Line is going to appear on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square!
Well, in reality Oliver Parsons-Baker, Senior Water Quality Advisor for Severn Trent Water, will stand on the Fourth Plinth on Tuesday 7th July, dress as a fish to promote the important issues contained in The End of the Line as part of the One&Other Project.
The project, in partnership with Sky Arts, is the brainchild of artist Antony Gormley, famed for his 20ft-high Angel of the North sculpture that overlooks the A1, near Newcastle.
He is asking 2,400 people to occupy the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square for one hour each between 6th July and 14th October 2009. So far nearly 15,000 people have applied for one of the 2,400 hour long slots.
Oliver will be standing on the Fourth Plinth between 10am and 11am on Tuesday 7th July. He will spend the first 30 minutes publicising the work that Water Aid does, and the second half an hour dressed as a fish, promoting The End of the Line.
