Newspaper Sphere

One of the key figures of Arte Povera, Michelangelo Pistoletto, will be creating a large sphere out of newspapers from around the world to be paraded through the streets of the City and Southwark.

Echoing a similar piece created in Turin between 1966-8, the artist will encourage the public to join the globe of newsprint in a procession across the Millennium Bridge and along the Thames path to Embankment Pier, completing its journey back to Bankside by boat.
