East London’s public sculpture walk -- The Line -- will open on May 23, 2015. Drawing comparisons to New York’s High Line, an elevated linear park dotted with public art projects, The Line will follow the Prime Meridian, linking two iconic East London sites -- Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the O2 Arena. Co-founded by art dealer Megan Piper and urban generation expert Clive Dutton, The Line launched a crowdfunding campaign in February 2014, which raised over £140,000 in less than eight weeks.
The Line aims to present existing works in a new context by placing thirty sculptures along a three-mile path that runs between the two sites of major urban transformation.
