About me My story

I think it's a pretty crazy idea to get 2400 people to stand on a plinth in Trafalgar Square. I like the idea of collaborative art and empowering people's creative sides. I think this is a generous sort of art...I'm not yet sure what I'll do because I'm not really into theatrics...but I suppose that this hour is about me!

Evie, if you have some extra tape left, I may need your help to shut some people's mouths here at work...

You seem focused on your aim very seriously. People downstairs would have had a good surprise if they had seen the final spider web, nice temporary exhibition,

Great job Eve...sorry I missed it live, just got back in UK. Made me think how we all get so bound up with minutiae, and how easy it can be to unfetter ourselves...felt good watching you pull away all the tape! What's next??

Well, I'd agree with Jennifer! You should have brought your cello! Actually, I think you were brave enough as it was (or are you an exhibitionist at heart?)... L XX

Brave,calm and inventive - as we might expect .

I hope the public could see the top of the plinth on giant screen or by mirror. Final pattern reminds me of a map of central London- perhaps a reflection of where you were.

Good on you Eve or going out and doing it!

(I keep on writing this and it says Oops - something went wrong! - I don't think so - so hope this gets through)

I have only seen it tiny bits (of tape) so look forward to putting it all together.

Big hugs, Mark

What a calm delivery of a wonderful piece of temporary art, you clever thing. Sorry we couldn't be there, and it was just fab to see you in action. Brilliant. Roz x

I like the design you made with the tape.

You had it all wrapped up eve. Well done! It was nice to see you so excited at the beginning when the cherry picker first left you. You obviously realised that you had this special hour to yourself in this special art project.

This reminded me that whatever a designer constructs on a site they are given is more or less temporary, though the memory can be permanent if we take time to record it. Also there are possibilities for the relationship of construct to site. Whatever occurs can hover above the site giving it shade, or snuggle into one corner of it, or contain it, reinforce it, wrap it. Also if the task is to construct and erase completely in the time available, then so doing leaves the issue of what to do with what's left. We can let it decay naturally, but here there wasn't the time. We can throw it at the hecklers perhaps, in a gesture of defiance? Or we can responsibly take it away with us, and then throw it away. Either way we are left with the question of what or where is "away"?

I loved Evie's taping of the 4th plinth, real "action" art, as much in the doing as the finished work. Also something that exists for just a short moment and to be remembered rather than embalmed in a gallery.

Good job and a lot of exercise. The removal of the tape was the most gripping part of the performance.

Lovely. I thought this was great!

it looks great from above, certainly you have left your lasting mark on the plinth - if not - you have 20mins to take all the tape off! this art does what others fail to do on this scale, bring people together in whatever capacity...

I hope all that tape is coming off.. One hour for each person. I don't think there should anything left on the plinth after your allotted time. the next plinther is not going to want that all over the floor.. Sort it out

( time comment left 10.37, if she's taken it all off by 11 , thats cool )

Ooooooh - i really like this ! - you have this plinth thing all wrapped up !

I'm loving this, I wonder if you told them you would be sticking paper all over the plinth?, and if you'll leave it there to get grubby as the days pass... I guess the last 5 mins of your time will either be frantic unsticking or nonchalant ambivalence. Well done! .
