Gillian Wearing: A Real Birmingham Family Event date:2011-06-16

A major new project by Birmingham-born artist Gillian Wearing. Her quest is to find, and immortalise in bronze, the 'real' Birmingham family. Families can nominate themselves to represent how the 21st-century family might be symbolised in the city. After short-listing, a panel of judges including prominent Birmingham figures select a single family. In 2013 a bronze life-size sculpture of the selected family is to be placed in Centenary Square, near the new library of Birmingham, becoming a lasting celebration of local residents.
