Inspired by the public art pieces in the London 2012 Olympic Park, Sparked is an eight-month educational exhibition series as part of the View Tube Art Education programme, from October 2011-May 2012.
The View Tube sits on The Greenway in East London, next to the London 2012 Olympic Park, it is a community arts and education venue, with a cafe and bike hire.
Sparked is funded by The Legacy List, a new charity established to support the long term cultural, social and physical regeneration of London’s future Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and its surroundings.
Sparked is supported by Bow Arts

Photos from our first meeting at the View Tube today with Riitta Ikonen and Tomas Klassnik from The Klassnik Corporation about their upcoming exhibition as part of the Sparked series. Their artwork in the park Fantasticology, will inspire the exhibition and accompanying educational material and family day. Fantasticology is a joint venture with The Klassnik Corporation, Riitta Ikonen and We Made That.
The ‘Fantastic-Archaeology’ wildflower meadows act as a floral celebration of the industrial heritage of the Olympic Park site. Fantasticology recreates the footprints of industrial buildings which previously occupied the location through patterns of coloured plantings. You can read more about their project here.
