The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), supported by Arts Council England (ACE), is seeking to commission experienced arts organisations or curator/producers to programme, manage and deliver a number of innovative, exciting, and high quality artist-led, temporary commissions and participatory projects focused around the edges of the Olympic Park site in east London.
With the major construction or 'big build' phase underway, the Olympic Park site is closed to the public, and the current hoardings are being replaced by a new security fence in order to maintain a safe construction site. The building of the Olympic Park and venues is one of the largest construction and engineering projects in Europe, and after 2012 will go on to be transformed into one of the largest urban parks created in Europe for more than 150 years.
In response to the physical transformation of this part of London and to the wider regeneration and legacy aims of the area, the ODA and key stakeholders wish to encourage local engagement with the regeneration process, focusing on local communities/users near to the Olympic Park site.
Funding has been agreed to support the project until the end of 2011. This project forms Phase Two of the Inside/Out programme developed and delivered by the Arts and Culture Strategy team at the ODA. The team successfully commissioned Film and Video Umbrella to deliver the first Inside/Out project which resulted in Memory Marathon; a film made by artist Simon Pope completed in March 2010.
Inside/Out: Phase Two is funded by the Arts Council England (the national development agency for the arts in England, further details can be found at www.artscouncil.org.uk) and the Olympic Delivery Authority.
