Stratford is the key station for the London 2012 Games and is currently undergoing major transformation. Art on the Underground the art programme for London Underground (LU) is developing a major new series of artworks in and around the station in the lead up to and beyond the Games.
Stratford Station
To launch this new programme Art on the Underground have commissioned two artists to work in residence at the station. Lucy Harrison and Alan Kane begin research at the station in February 2008 and their work will culminate in October coinciding with the launch of the Cultural Olympiad, the culture strategy for the Games. Over ten months, both artists will establish platforms for local opinion using strategies specific to their artistic practices, from installing display cases containing personal collections (owned by staff and local residents) to a monthly local newspaper distributed from the station.
