Sculptural models by the finalists for the next two editions of the Fourth Plinth commission that graces London’s Trafalgar Square have been revealed to the public.
The six finalists are Goshka Macuga, Teresa Margolles, Ibrahim Mahama, Nicole Eisenman, Paloma Varga Weisz, and Samson Kambalu, whose designs range from a monument to the trans community featuring 850 plaster facial casts to a giant space rocket.
The public can vote for its favorite sculpture online, but the final decision will be made by a panel chaired by journalist Ekow Eshun and featuring artist Jeremy Deller, broadcaster Jon Snow, and Iwona Blazwick, director of the Whitechapel gallery, reports the BBC.
