Synopsis
A press release came from the Sky:
- Artists are asked to create a new wave of public art. Six heats will take place across the UK, each spotlighting three artists who will compete to create local landmarks for their home region.
- Working across mediums (sic) varying from ceramics and bronze to LEDs and inflatables, the artists will build, weld, and sculpt under the watchful eyes of two expert judges, Clare Lilley and Hetain Patel, as well as the celebrity guest judge representing their region or nation.
- At the end of each heat, the landmarks will be unveiled to the local community, who will join the judges to deliberate on which piece best sums up their area. The winning artists will go on to the final where they will pitch for a national landmark which one of them will be commissioned to create. The final landmark will be on display in Coventry, UK City of Culture for 2021.
