The Line
About The Line
The Line is East London’s public art trail that connects Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the O2, following the waterways and the line of the Greenwich Meridian. Its outdoor exhibition programme offers a journey through a dynamic urban landscape where everyone is free to explore art, nature and heritage.
The Line was co-founded in 2015 by director Megan Piper, and the late regeneration expert Clive Dutton OBE (1953–2015) whose life’s work was rooted in a commitment to improving the quality of life for people in urban environments. The project was established to democratise access to art by introducing sculptures that were previously hidden from public view into the public realm for audiences to experience for free.
The Line currently includes artworks by: Larry Achiampong, Alex Chinneck, Serge Attukwei Clottey, Tracey Emin, Simon Faithfull, Abigail Fallis, Laura Ford, Madge Gill, Antony Gormley, Ron Haselden, Carsten Holler, Gary Hume, Anish Kapoor, Somang Lee, Virginia Overton, Eva Rothschild, Thomson & Craighead, and Richard Wilson.
