I Goat in Spitalfields

January 24th, 2011

Scottish artist Kenny Hunter’s sculpture I Goat was unveiled last week in Bishops Square in Spitalfields as the winner of the inaugural Spitalfields Sculpture Prize. It is now part of the Spitalfields Public Art Collection and will be joined by other works to form a new sculpture park in the area.

Hunter won the £45,000 commission following a public vote and input from a panel of experts. The goat represents the oppression and poverty faced by generations of immigrants who have defined the personality of this part of East London.
