LONDON
.- Established in 2015, The Line is Londons first dedicated public art walk; an outstanding, free outdoor art gallery, following the waterways and line of the Greenwich Meridian along a route which passes through 3 of the most diverse boroughs in the UK: Newham, Tower Hamlets and Greenwich.
The Line announced the unveiling on 21st July of A Moment Without You by the acclaimed British artist, Tracey Emin. The only public sculpture by Emin currently in London, the work features 5 bronze birds perched above head height resting in sight of historic Three Mills, home to the House Mill and the worlds largest surviving tidal mill. Although rendered in bronze, the birds retain the delicate fragility of their living counterparts, as well as the intimacy of the sculptors physical touch in the modelling of each hand-sized form.
