The Fourth Plinth

The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square has hosted interesting pieces of art over the years. For the next 100 days (ish...it's been going on for a bit already, not sure exactly how many days are left) someone will get the chance to spend 1 hour on top of the plinth, doing anything they like. A new person gets up there every hour. Tonight, my friend and fellow church leader in Camden, Brandon, got up there for an hour. He gave out little gifts, there was a fishing rod involved, and a make-shift boat. We left before his hour was up - had to put the kids to bed - so I don't really know what the end of the story was, or if there was an end. Check out the One & Other site for more info, as well as live video of what's currently on the plinth. Right now, there's a guy calling out Twister instructions to a bunch of people down below.


Art Show

My daughter is taking an afternoon art class. Her teacher was part of an exhibition last night, and he has had the kids helping him out. Here she is pointing out the area she helped paint.
