Life inside the London 2012 Olympic Park

Olympic Park artist reinterprets French masterpiece as tribute to London 2012 construction workers

2012-01-26T16:31:00.000Z

An artist working on the Olympic Park has paid tribute to the workers building the London 2012 Games by recreating his own version of an iconic painting by French post-impressionist Georges Seurat.

The National Gallery, which houses the original masterpiece, expressed that Neville Gabie – the Olympic Park’s artist in residence - had imaginatively reinterpreted the famous ‘Bathers at Asnieres’ for a post-industrial age.

The image by Gabie forms part of the Olympic Delivery Authority’s (ODA) Art in the Park programme, and will be exhibited at the View Tube – a community viewpoint and cafe overlooking the Olympic Park near Pudding Mill Lane DLR station from January 28-March 18.

Gabie’s photograph recreates the 1884 pointillist painting’s composition, with the characters inhabiting the image taken from across the Olympic Park, including landscape gardeners, engineers, designers and security staff. The image reflects the range of tasks, diversity and skills of those delivering the venues and infrastructure ahead of this summer.

First images of 30-tonne Olympic Park artwork show scale of spectacular project

2012-01-16T10:21:00.002Z

Work has started on installing an iconic artwork in the Olympic Park that was inspired by popular music – including the songs of Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. RUN, created by internationally-renowned artist Monica Bonvicini, will be the largest standalone artwork on the Olympic Park and will be situated on the plaza of the 6,500-capacity Copper Box (the new name for the London 2012 Handball Arena).

'The ODA’s Art in the Park programme has strived to commission original and meaningful works and Monica Bonvincini’s unique installation will capture both the imagination and attention of spectators and visitors passing it.'

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: '2012 will be a summer like no other, with a myriad of fantastic events taking place right across London. This wonderful sculpture is just one example of inspiring new artwork that will form part of a lasting cultural legacy for the benefit of the capital, long after the Games have left town.'

Monica Bonvicini said: 'It's exciting to see the work finally start on site after being awarded the commission in Summer 2010. RUN will blend in perfectly in the landscape, avoiding monumentality through the mirroring of the surroundings. At night the psychedelic light reflections will illuminate it in a vigorous, elegant and witty way, reflecting the great liveliness of London.'

Ruth Mackenzie, Director, Cultural Olympiad & London 2012 Festival, said: 'The ODA have done an amazing job of putting art at the heart of the Olympic Park. RUN will not only be a wonderful piece for visitors to enjoy during the Games, but also leave a lasting legacy for years after. Through the London 2012 Festival we are building on this platform, programming a celebration of arts and culture for the whole of the UK in the summer of 2012.'

Olympic Park area re-naming

2012-01-09T22:07:00.000Z

As part of the 200 days-to-go countdown, LOCOG also released details of new Games-time naming for selected venues and spectator areas in the Olympic Park. The naming will help create consistent signage and ‘wayfinding’ for spectators, aiding crowd flows and helping spectators navigate the 500-acre Olympic Park site. New naming includes:

- Riverbank Arena (Formerly Hockey Centre). The venue hosts Hockey events in the Olympic Games along with Paralympic 5-a-side and 7-a-side Football. The new name reflects the venue’s location next to the River Lea in the Olympic Park.

- Copper Box (Formerly Handball Arena). The venue hosts Olympic Handball and the Fencing discipline of the Modern Pentathlon, then by Goalball during the Paralympic Games. The new name reflects the venue’s boxed-shape and distinct copper cladding, helping create a visual reference for spectators travelling to the venue.

- Stratford Walk (Formerly F10 / Aquatics Centre bridge). This huge 250m-long land bridge forms the main ‘Gateway to the Games’ taking spectators from Stratford City across the Aquatics Centre and towards the Olympic Stadium. Stratford Walk is expected to carry two-thirds of people visiting the Olympic Park, and will be joined by three other main spectator entrances - ‘Greenway Walk’ in the south of the Olympic Park; ‘Eton Manor Walk’ in the north; and ‘Victoria Walk’ in the west.

- London Way. The main circulation route for spectators and central ‘spine’ of the Olympic Park, running north-to-south through the middle of the site. It will be the only 'London Way' within London.

- Orbit Circus. Located around The Orbit, the 115m high visitor attraction in the south of the Olympic Park between the Olympic Stadium and Aquatics Centre, this spectator area takes the typically London reference to ‘Circus’ meaning a central area where a number of different spaces converge.

London's latest Olympic venue

2012-01-04T09:59:00.001Z

In Woolwich, by the Arsenal, is a collection of wonderfully wacky Olympic buildings - this the only one photograph-able above the building site hoardings. For the shooting and paralympic archery events. Two others are tucked behind this edifice - one with pink 'things', the other with blue. On a cold winter's day, with the moon hanging in the sky, they're a striking testament to the creativity of contemporary architects.

The red structures are moving membranes, rubber-like, birthday balloon-like - they seem to breathe for the building. And according to the architects - they act as natural ventilation and allow light into the building. Nice for the shooters and archers, and spectators.

A side-on view of the latest London Olympic venue to near completion. PVC membrane encloses the shooting and paralympic archery venue and the rubber membranes provide natural light and ventilation.

Merry Christmas. Due to the lack of snow this Christmas, here's a snowy scene from last year..

“Do I get a 2012 badge?!?”

2011-12-23T20:19:00.003Z

Whenmy boss asked me whether I wanted to become involved in the interviews for theWeymouth and Portland Ambassadors my first response was “do I get a 2012 badge?!?”

During2005 when it was announced that the sailing events for the Olympic and Paralympicevents would take place in Weymouth,and Portland, Dorset County,West Dorset, and Weymouth and Portland Councils all pledgedtheir commitment to make it happen. Iwork for a partnership between West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland and PurbeckCouncils and was asked to become involved. After 20 odd years working in a public facing part of the council I was consideredsuitable to interview for the Ambassador positions.

Beforebecoming directly involved I wasn’t too sure about the events of 2012. Would people want to come to the town just towatch a few boats out at sea? Would allthe locals leave the area for two weeks to get away from the hubbub? Would the “20 years worth of road-works inone year” throughout Weymouthactually be worth it? I knew theofficial bodies were committed to make it work, but did the residents of theborough?

Theinterviews took place in December 2011, and I wasn’t too sure what to expect: What type of person applies for this sort ofthing? Why are they interested? Do they really want to give up 10 days(minimum) of their valued free time? Would it be mainly retired people, young people, unemployed, working andso on?

Wewere given a 15 minute “from Hi to Bye” window for each candidate, and had toask up to half a dozen questions depending on the role the candidate required. Then we scored them on each question.

Ihave interviewed many people for positions within my organisation and thought Ihad seen pretty much everything over the years: the good, the bad, the indifferent,but nothing like what I encountered during my interviewing days.

Thefirst lady I interviewed was finished within about two minutes; all questionsanswered perfectly with enthusiasm I’d never encountered during aninterview. These guys weren’t gettingpaid!! A few more interviews with thesame outcome; huge enthusiasm and willingness to get involved. It was pretty clear that the people who hadturned up all wanted to get involved in the once in a lifetime opportunitywhich would be coming to town next year.

InWeymouth on the first day I interviewed a wide range of people from a elderly retiredlady who was able to reminisce about the last time the Olympics came to Britainto a young girl who was doing a language GCSE’s and wanted to become a languageambassador.

Mysecond day of interviewing was at AFC Bournemouth’s ground and attracted manystudents from the university. Because ofthe cosmopolitan nature of Bournemouth University I interviewedpeople who came from all corners of the globe. Again, I was blown away by the enthusiasm of the interviewees and therange of languages. I interviewed astudent from a small village in the Ukraine who had recently come tothe UKto study to an ex Royal Navy Senior Officer with a wealth of experience inmanaging similar types of events.

Whilstall candidates I saw were all good, I have to say I was inspired by some of theyounger applicants. Young people oftenget bad press for being idle and not wanting to volunteer but this put paid tothat theory. It’s quite clear that a lotof people in Weymouthand Portlandwho are looking forward to 2012.

Me?Well I’m on 24 hour call during the Olympics for my own voluntary work which Iundertake for the Police and have had all leave cancelled from my day job - soguess I will be busy. I am aiming to doas much as I can to become involved. Oh,I haven’t got my 2012 badge yet…

Morevolunteers will be sought during 2012. Please follow the link below:

Andy’s pictures tell a thousand words

2011-11-11T11:40:00.001Z

Featured today on the SKANSKA Intranet.

Amateur photographer, Andy Wilkes has been chosen from thousands of hopefuls to help document the run-up to the Olympics in pictures.

Andy, a document controller with a passion for photography, is one of a hundred BT London 2012 Storytellers. Over the coming months he will be issued with various challenges to complete in his spare time. He has already attended a test event and had his photos published on a dedicated website.

Working on the ODA Lot 1 project, Andy is in an ideal position to document progress of the works, taking photographs of the roads and bridges we are building as well as the major arenas. To assist Andy, Skanska has agreed to sponsor him by helping with some new photography equipment and the loan of a laptop.

Commenting Greg Craig, Managing Director said “This is a great opportunity for Andy to combine some of his time at work with his hobby. I look forward to seeing his photographs of our completed works in use and alongside the major stadiums for this historic event.”

BT is a partner for the London 2012 Olympic Games. In May 2011 the communications giant launched a competition to find members of the public to help chronicle the story of the Olympic and Paralympic Games from one-year-to-go right through to Games-time.
