Be A Trafalgar Square Statue!Replace this Title by Kamila Moravcikova

Yes, this is not a joke. You can really become a part of a Trafalgar Square. If you feel like you are supposed to be the right one, watch out the competition that is being run by London officials in effort to fill the empty „fourth plinth". It is an Antony Gormley´s concept that proposes that there is no use for stone, granite, bronze or an experienced hand of the sculptor. All he needs is a myriad of people staring at the plinth willing to go „onstage" and be an one-hour-statue. And it has even a deeper meaning & it means that you are in individualist we all have to honor. The trouble is whether the weather would be willing to colaborate so he can find some potential statues. And there are five another problems. Another sculptures, projects, designs that were short listed. For example the remains of a civilians vehicle that has been destroyed during an attack in Iraq. And the author is even not trying to pretend that that is an artwork. Well, if you feel like you need a little bit of love you should pray Tracey Emin´s work will win. The Meerkats, small mammals living toghether in desert are designed to be a part of fourth plinth as they are a symbol of unity and safety (and one may ask what happened to woman that created „Everyone I Have Ever Slept With" tent?!). Actually, there are some more artworks & mirrors that "brings the clouds down to the ground" and illuminated peace sign that is powered by wind and the sun. After all this, the replica of Nelson´s ship in a bottle just seems to be incredibly corny. If you are not interested in being a statue, but you would like to join next year competition & what about exposing empty fourth plinth and calling it "Empty Fourth Plinth"?
