Artists shortlisted to work on Olympic Park

More than 30 new bridges will be built across waterways and railway lines throughout the Olympic Park to create open and accessible parklands, and connect the new communities surrounding the Park after the Games. The ODA asked artists to submit proposals to develop integrated artworks for 12 of these bridges and five underpasses.

More than 250 submissions were received. The eight shortlisted artists were: Martin Richman; Jason Bruges studio; David Cotterrell; tonkin liu; The Klassnik Corporation in collaboration with Riitta Ikonen and We Made That; Simeon Nelson in collaboration with Sonia Leber and David Chesworth; Usman Haque, Haque Design + Research Ltd; and greyworld.

The shortlisted artists now have six weeks to develop their proposals for the commission, which will be assessed by a panel at the end of September.
