Dear readers,
Some French icon in Trafalgar square not intentionally though. Trafalgar was a war won by Trafalgar over Napoleon in 1805.
This example shows that rotating sculpture in a public space such as the 4th plinth can be powerful. Great idea that needs to be applied everywhere if possible. I like the website of the Trafalgar square that calls for art, especially this
visionary statement:
Vision and strategy
"London is a city that's not afraid of taking risks. It's a place that's full of tradition, but also about innovation, capable of embracing the future. And it's a city of diversity."
Marc Quinn (Fourth Plinth artist 2005 - 2007)

Imagine, for a moment, a London without culture:
No theatres
No art galleries
No concert halls
No film, fashion or design.
No filmmakers in Soho.
No artists in the east end
No theatres.
No art galleries.
No concert halls.
No film, fashion or design.
No filmmakers in Soho.
No artists in the East End.
It's a bleak and impossible picture to imagine. Thankfully, London’s arts and cultural sector is a great success story.
The Mayor and Greater London Authority play a key role in ensuring that London remains a hotbed for creativity and innovation and that the capital’s rich cultural offering is accessible to more Londoners.
