The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) have announced that Martin Richman and Jason Bruges Studio have been selected as the winning artists for the first in a series of arts commissions in the Olympic Park that will celebrate and commemorate London 2012.
    The first arts commission, launched by the ODA in July, identified a series of new bridges and underpasses to be constructed in the Olympic Park for artists to develop integrated artwork proposals that both celebrated and/or commemorated London 2012.
    This first commission is part of the overall masterplan to create a new public park that will be enjoyed by future generations and follows the wider Olympic Park plans unveiled by the ODA last month that will combine centuries of British park design with ground-breaking green technology to create a ‘new Hyde Park for east London’.
     Following expressions of interest from more than 250 artists, eight artists were shortlisted to submit their initial artwork proposals for the bridges and underpasses commission.
The proposals were assessed by a wide group, including Tate Director Sir Nicholas Serota, the ODA’s Principal Design Advisor Ricky Burdett and Louise Trodden, Head of Art in the Open, before the two artists were selected for the commission.
    London Mayor Boris Johnson, commented: "As well as better transport, infrastructure and environment and helping to regenerate East London, I'm determined that the 2012 Games should also leave a cultural and artistic legacy.
“These art commissions and the recently announced landscape garden will help create an outstanding public park to be enjoyed by future generations long after the Games have finished, and will play a key role in ensuring the Olympic Park celebrates the world-class culture and creativity that London is renowned for."
