Lancaster artist set for Trafalgar Square project
LANCASTER artist Rachel Baynton has been chosen to join 2,400 people taking their place on a plinth in Trafalgar Square as part of a national art project.
Rachel, of Proto-type Theatre, based in the Storey Institute, was picked to take part in the One & Other project by Antony Gormley – the artist behind The Angel of the North – which will see a different person on the plinth every hour, 24 hours a day for 100 days.
Rachel will be standing on the plinth between 5 and 6pm on Saturday, July 25 – and she wants to know what you would say if you were up there.
Rachel intends to launch paper aeroplanes from the top of the plinth, with your messages on them, to the world below.
She said: "I'd really like to try and give a voice to those with something they want to say on the plinth but haven't been given the chance to. If I shout, then I'm not sure I'll be heard over the noise in Trafalgar Square so paper aeroplanes seemed a good way of sending a message."
So, do you have something to say? Then email Rachel at
mail@proto-type.org and she'll pass the message on.
