Art for Everyone #LondonIsOpen

 

10 November 2016

 

On 10 November 2016 between 7.30-9.30am Art on the Underground, Transport for London’s contemporary art programme, will hand out to London Underground passengers limited edition posters by leading international artists in North, South, East, West and Central London. The campaign sends a message across London of internationalism, diversity and commonality as part of #LondonIsOpen.

 

The campaign follows the launch of #LondonIsOpen led by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and leading British artist David Shrigley in July, with a major new series of works by top UK and international artists across the Tube network, showing London is open to all.

 

Phase two of the campaign will see limited edition posters designed by Sol Calero, Alexandre da Cunha, Jeremy Deller, David Shrigley, Mark Titchner and Bedwyr Williams handed out to Underground passengers at Brixton, Kings Cross, Shepherds Bush, Stratford and Tottenham Court Road stations. Each station will have its own exclusive artwork, bringing a unique response to the core theme of openness and diversity.

 

 Together with Tania Bruguera, Hew Locke and Indra Khanna and Gillian Wearing who contributed works for phase one of the campaign, a limited edition postcard series featuring all artworks will be handed out to mark the moment, leaving an extraordinary legacy for #LondonIsOpen.
