Ex-Nam Wa Poite, Big Ginger Callum is a lucky chappy. Not only is he probably the wealthiest of my friends, although in fairness I can count on one hand the number of well-off peeps I know, he spent an hour this morning on the empty fourth plinth of Trafalgar Square.
Wacky British artist and sculptor Antony Gormley set up the One and Other project whereby 2400 live “acts” would appear every hour for a 100 day period on the empty plinth. There have been over 34,110 applicants, one of which was Gormley himself. He failed to get an allotted stint.
Beginning on July 6th, I saw this exhibition first hand on my recent trip to UK and was totally impressed with the concept. It will run till the 14th October.
There is live webcam where I was able to spy his antics which ranged from a golf driving range, talking to Buds on his mobile, or just taking pictures of his audience and surround. Dressed up as an ass and standing there for an hour must be totally nuts! Good on ya Man!
After his hour on the plinth, Callum complains about a continual barrage of marshmallows thrown from a member of the audience. Can´t think why?
