Five Contemporary Olympians
Kenny Hunter Scotland

Taking inspiration from Ancient Grecian sculptures, Kenny Hunter proposes to create five large-scale sculptures of contemporary Olympians representing the five competing regions of the world. Working with a group of athletes from different backgrounds and sporting disciplines to gain a deeper understanding of what is means to be an athlete and what inspires their motivation, discipline and dedication Hunter's proposal will develop five poses to attempt to reveal aspects of the collective psychology of the Modern Olympian athlete. During the London Olympics he would like to see them exhibited publicly as a group, after that they could be installed permanently at sporting locations throughout Scotland.
