(Don't applaud, just throw money)

“In 2007, Greyworld launched Monument to the Unknown Artist beside the Tate Modern on London’s Bankside. A permanent installation, it garnered the interest of the world's media. At first glance the installation would appear to be a simple bronze statue, dressed in a neck scarf and loose fitting suit. However, the six metre high monument seeks inspiration from passers-by, inviting them to strike poses which he copies, continually changing his form in a light-hearted and mischievous way. The unique sculpture offers an alternative and accessible creative experience for the public, allowing them to create a dialogue with the work of art.” (Greyworld, Wikipedia)
