Dominoes is one of two winners of the 2009 Bank of America CREATE Art Award, which was a major new award for artists living and working in the five host boroughs of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Station House Opera were commissioned to produce an event that physically linked the five host boroughs.
THE PROJECT
On Sunday 26th July, thousands of concrete blocks will be used to create a moving sculpture unfolding along the course of a day.
At mid-afternoon the blocks will begin their journey in the middle of Mile End Park - a quiet, unobtrusive begining on their long journery. On paths, through parks and even on water, the domino line will wend its way southwards, linking the diverse communities of the areas it passes through in a symbolic as well as physical chain of cause and effect.
Eventually the line will cross the Thames, concluding in a performance at dusk in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
