One & Other is a public art project in the United Kingdom by Antony Gormley, in which 2,400 members of the public occupy the usually vacant fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, London for an hour each for 100 days. The project began at 9am on Monday 6 July 2009, and the first person to officially occupy the plinth was Rachel Wardell from Lincolnshire.[1]
Opening
The project was opened by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and Antony Gormley. Minutes before the official launch Stuart Holmes, an anti-smoking protester, managed to clamber onto the plinth and displayed a banner calling for a ban on tobacco. Gormley urged him to do the "gentlemanly thing" and give up his place to the first official "plinther", Rachel Wardell. He did so and descended in the cherry picker used to carry participants to and from the plinth. [2][3]
