I liked Wallinger's plinth.

all of those ebbsfleet ones are shit too. i mean, if you just build a nice clocktower on there it'll be nicer than any of those nonsense

xp
And Gormley's plinth could be interesting.

Maybe we could put Gormley himself up there.

what actually motivates you to talk?

I go back and forth on Gormley, I'll be interested to see what he does?

plinth needs marble rendering of ken c

well this was my idea a while ago

I like it.
I especially like the guy at the bottom of the plinth crying at the sheer beauty he beholds.

her psycho buildings thing was pretty good, yeah

yeah it was! whiteread seems to veer randomly between really emotionally intuitive work and empty crap about nothing.

think a statue of the queen would be disappointing and regressive, a bit...what year is this again? why does this country give a shit about the royal family beyond the level of 'minor celebs falling out of boujis'? though i'd find it hard to get particularly angry if it did happen.

i like the idea of revolving artworks up there.

thought do ho suh's bisected american apartments w/the korean house crashing into the side was the best psycho building though

i'm all for not putting a statue of the queen up on the plinth except i can't think of anything in particular to go on there that's any better.

i'm going through every person i can think of just now and though "do i want a statue of this person on trafalgar square more than the queen" and each one of them returned no.

Difficult to say which of the shortlisted entries was worst. A fucking giant horse though. Why not, eh.

i loved his proposal but there's no way this can be built for anything close to £2m. all that huge structure sitting on 4 slim points roughly 3-4m square? the ability for all that bulk to withstand high winds? it's not impossible but it will have to be an act of engineering genius and it will cost £££.

Maybe they could find some way to suspend it so I could make my 'hung like a horse' joke.
