Before the athletes ever arrive in London, the Arts Council is collecting artwork from around Britain to showcase British culture at the London 2012 Olympics. The show is dubbed "the most ambitious and wide-ranging art prize in the UK" and will feature 12 winning commissions from every region of the country. These pieces range from feature films to 30 ft tall crocheted lions and a "spinning column of cloud and light." Each of the 12 chosen groups will share £5.4m and create their masterpieces between 2010 and 2011 to be ready for the Olympics in 2012. Join discussion...
