Town Centre Link Timeline commission
Deadline: November 28, 2008
Westfield Shoppingtowns Limited is developing the largest retail-led, mixed-use urban regeneration project ever undertaken in the United Kingdom. Situated adjacentto the site of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the development will create a new metropolitan centre for East London. Connecting the new development to Stratford town centre and the regional station is the Town Centre Link bridge. The bridge presents the opportunity for an artist to create site specific work to create points of interest along the bridge, referencing Stratford’s history.
Westfield has allowed a budget of UKP140,000 + VAT for the realization of the commission. A steering group within Westfield will oversee the selection process, advised by their public art coordinator. Five artists will be selected to take part in an open competition in response to this brief.
There is an expectation that the selected design will result in a work of art that is in harmony with, and integral to, the architecture enriching the visual and cultural experience for those that live, work, visit and experience Stratford City.
