On November 20, 2007, greyworld’s latest work, entitled Monument to the Unknown Artist, will be unveiled. At first glance, Monument to the Unknown Artist appears to be a simple bronze statue, dressed in a neck scarf and loose fitting suit. However, the super-sized monument will seek inspiration from passers-by, inviting them to strike poses which he will copy, continually changing his form in a light-hearted and mischievous way. The unique sculpture will offer an alternative and accessible creative experience for the public allowing them to create a dialogue with the work of art.

Unveiled by Alex Beard, Deputy Director of the Tate Modern, this permanent work is the culmination of many years of effort for greyworld, and we are very excited to finally be letting him live outside. Commissioned by Land Securities for the property companys Bankside 123 development, the public-activated sculpture will be unveiled on a busy site behind Tate Modern. Lots of pictures of the work in progress are available here. Check our website for this and other information.
