The V&A East Museum will open on April 18, featuring a giant bronze sculpture by Thomas J Price. The sculpture depicts a young person in casual attire, holding a mobile phone. It combines digital and traditional techniques, reflecting Price's focus on representation in classical sculpture. The museum will include a café, two levels of free permanent galleries, and a temporary exhibition floor. A roof terrace will offer views of the Olympic Park. Entry will be free, with daily hours from 10am to 6pm and extended hours on Thursdays and Fridays.
"The giant is a work of art by London-based artist Thomas J Price and depicts a fictional young person in casual clothing, holding a mobile phone and gazing towards an unseen horizon."
"The figure has been created from a blend of source material, including images, 3D scans and observational studies. Cast in bronze, the work combines digital processes with traditional techniques."
"The V&A East Museum opens on 18th April as part of the wider East Bank development in the former Olympic Park, featuring a ground-floor café and two levels of free permanent galleries."
