ITP Alum Leo Villareal will be creating the world's longest artwork in London with the Illuminated River Foundation. As described in Arts & Collections, "Leo Villareal’s art installation of LED lights, produced with the help of architect, Lifschutz Davidson Sandiland is visible across all major bridges paralleling the Thames river in central London. The lights can be found at London Bridge, Cannon Street Bridge, Southwark Bridge and the Millennium Footbridge—another 11 bridges will follow suit over the course of the next year. The neon lights will cover nearly 50 percent of the bridges in central London, which is home to a total of 33 bridges, and will span across 8km of the River Thames."
