The public are invited to have their say about the proposed artworks online
Models by Nicole Eisenman, Samson Kambalu, Goshka Macuga, Ibrahim Mahama, Teresa Margolles and Paloma Varga Weisz are on display at the National Gallery from 24 May to 4 July 2021 and available to view online, with the public encouraged to share their views.
The London landmark, which was built in 1841 but remained empty due to a lack of funds, has been home to a rolling commission of public artworks for the last two decades.

A huge silver rocket, some stacked planters and the faces of 850 trans people are among the artworks shortlisted to next be sited on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. Models of all the works are on display in the Annenberg Court in the National Gallery until July 4 and the public (that’s you and me) are invited to check them out and have their say about them online. Two works will then be selected, one installed in September 2022, when the current occupant of the plinth, Heather Phillipson’s ‘The End’, will reach its… end, and another that will be installed in 2024. It’s part of Sadiq’s Let’s Do London campaign.
