Democracy means a voice / vote for everyone. There are more applicants than places which means that there will be a structure set up for selection. A hierarchy will be introduced to handle the situation and that hierarchy will be based on a set of values - perhaps personal values but largely postmodern cultural values. It would be interesting to investigate what those values are.

I agree with you Andra. I have been thinking about the same thing. the democratisation of art brings up a lot of questions, and the question is depth and standards. Anthony Gormley wants people to express themselves in terms of what they care about, but it is quite vague. How about having a stronger guidance/leadership from the artists that guides the project in a way where everyone has to stretch to give their best and really thinks about what values they want to convey - in a sense what their highest purpose is.... that goes against postmodern thinking where anything goes and everything is accepted....

I was selected. My expression was to not stand on the plinth so they replaced me with a stand-by. Read more here: bit.ly/one_and_other
