There is still time to see the installation which runs until the 10 June.     The project comprises of a vibrant site-specific art work in Exchange Square, City of London. A live performance, teams of eight women in two shifts walk continuously on top of a red structure for nine hours a day; from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. Members of the public are able to walk both around the structure in order to experience the work visually and through the passageway beneath the platform to get a sensory experience of the women walking above. By creating such a visually striking and powerful work, Gilmore highlights and gives prominence to the daily life of professional women in the City of London. For this project Kate Gilmore proposes a vibrant site-specific art work in Exchange Square, London. During the live performance, teams of eight women in two shifts will walk continuously on top of a red structure for nine hours a day; from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. Members of the public will be able to walk both around the structure in order to experience the work visually and through the passageway beneath the platform to get a sensory experience of the women walking above. By creating such a visually striking and powerful work, Gilmore highlights and gives prominence to the daily life of professional women in the City of London. The location chosen for the work is Exchange Square in the financial district of the City of London, where thousands of people pass by every  day, either on their way to or from their place of work. The size of the structure (2.5 x 5 meter) is in keeping with the measurements of typical office cubicles and corridors in the neighbouring modern office blocks, where countless women work, perhaps without ever having noticed or reflected upon the effect their daily activities have on their body and stamina. The women who participate in Kate Gilmore’s project will resemble typical office workers and come from different backgrounds. With this art work Kate Gilmore comments on the meaning of labour and life in everyday conditions, and skilfully turns a mundane phenomenon into a thrilling visual spectacle. Concerned with the present, Walk the Line will reflect the daily rhythms of Exchange Square and the urban experience of London.

judgremimag: Piracy Is Crime

Gc4me : Pardon me, but how is citizenship not a relevant issue to legal immigrants? If you're not worried about citizenship issues, then why are you even infesting this thread? Many people, including me, might be interested. And I have indeed contributed, although I don't see how that is any of your business and as long as this website isn't being hosted on your home computer, I don't see what gives you the right to ask it of anyone in a patronizing tone. It's simple really, if you're not interested in any issue, just stay away. No one needs your BS sarcasm or disapproval. I totally second that. Saralayar has raised a very valid issue and its up to IV and core memebers to take it or not. Getting GC should not be the end of the story, we ought to think beyond that. had this GC process been consistant and FIFO, there would not have been any problem with the fact "citizenship after 5 years of GC". Now this GC thing is so screwed up, we might want to include citizen ship issue as well but definitely, at the very lowest priority.
