Great Britain, London, Trafalgar Square Fourth Plinth, the Programme is the most spoken about contemporary art prize in the UK. Funded by the Mayor of London & supported by Arts Council England, the programme invites world-class artists to make astonishing works for the centre of the city.
The new commission Gift Horse by artist Hans Haacke, was unveiled on Thursday 5 March 2015 in London’s Trafalgar Square.
The Gift Horse is a bronze skeletal, riderless horse, which has a ribbon wrapped around one leg, displaying the electroluminescent film ticker from the London Stock Exchange, completing the link between power, money & history represented on the fourth plinth
Hans Haacke German-American, a conceptual artist, born 1936 in Cologne & studied art in Germany & Philadelphia USA, who lives & works in New York. Haacke’s early work employed physical & organic processes, such as condensation, in what he called ‘systems’, until his focus shifted to the socio-political field of equally interdependent dynamics. For the last four decades, Haacke has been examining relationships between art, power & money; he addressed issues of free expression & public responsibilities in democratic societies.
However the director of the Tate gallery, Nicholas Serota had a very different interpretation, he thinks it's clearly about the fragility of power systems, the state & the financial systems!!
