从7月5日起，安东尼葛姆雷开始在英国特拉法广场的第四根基柱上，呈现他的现代艺术作品。作品名为“一个接一个”，在作品展现的100天内，每天由一个不同的人在伦敦市中心的特拉法广场的第四根基柱旁站立一小时，全天24小时不间断。站立的人可以随便摆姿势，但要在合法的范围内。

英国全国有14500人申请参与这个作品，第一位将出场的35岁的家庭主妇Rachel。她之后将由来自布莱顿的护士Jason Clark接过接力棒。其他第一天即将登场的人还包括51岁来自伦敦的咨询顾问Jill Gatcum，22岁来自斯里兰卡的学生艺术家Suren Seneviratne等。

即将在七月份登场的年纪最大的参与者是83岁来自牛津的Gwynneth Pedler，她准备打旗语。而另一位金发美女学生Heather Pringle，准备在现场度过自己的20岁生日。

“一个接一个”活雕塑将一直沿续到10月14日，整个活动期间将会有2400人参与。

Empty plinth volunteers step up

Antony Gormley's Fourth Plinth art project is set to begin in London's Trafalgar Square later.

The One and Other project will see a different person standing on the plinth every hour for 24 hours a day over the next 100 days. More than 14,500 people from across Britain have so far applied to take part in the event.

Housewife Rachel Wardell, 35, will take her place as the first "living statue" when the event kicks off at 0900 BST. She will be followed by Jason Clark, a 41-year-old nurse from Brighton.. Other people to take to the plinth on the first day include Jill Gatcum, 51, a consultant from London and Suren Seneviratne, a 22-year-old Sri Lankan student and artist.

The oldest among July's 615 participants is pensioner Gwynneth Pedler, 83, from Oxford, who plans to signal with semaphore flags. While Heather Pringle, a student from Hexham, will celebrate her 20th birthday on the plinth.

Living statues for following months will be announced later, with 2,400 people taking part up to 14 October.
