OLYMPIC BELLS
|
The church bells were rung on Friday 27th July from 8.12 to 8.15 am to mark the start of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. |
|
The idea was Martin Creed’s – a Turner prize winning installation artist. |
|
Work No. 1197: “All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes” presents |
|
a truly celebratory work for the Games. It was commissioned by the London 2012 Festival as a ground-breaking |
|
new work. When it is performed, people all across the UK will be caught within its rich tapestry of sound. No |
|
two people’s experiences of Work No. 1197 will be the same, making it both a personal and a communal |
|
celebration. |
