London is Open campaign offers posters by Jeremy Deller and David Shrigley to commuters

Sadiq Khan’s London is Open art campaign will be handing out free posters, postcards and other paraphernalia to commuters on Tuesday 22 November, featuring artwork by Jeremy Deller, Mark Titchner, David Shrigley, Sol Calero and Alexandre da Cunha.

Artworks have been commissioned for the series, Art for Everyone, in response to Sadiq’s London is Open mantra, and are on display around the underground network. Posters, postcards, bags and badges will be dished out to passengers at stations around the city, including Tottenham Court Road, Vauxhall, Kings Cross, Shepherds Bush and Stratford. The postcards feature all ten original artworks, while the freebies use artworks by these five select artists.

Jeremy Deller says of his piece: "My artwork contribution ‘London & on & on’ is a hopefully funny play on an advert for washing machines in the 1990’s. It riffs on the advert’s catch phrase “Ariston and on and”. It feels like it’s appropriate to the theme that London Is Open – that London has its own momentum. It has been going for 2000 years after all.”

This next stage of the London mayor’s campaign is in conjunction with Art on the Underground, TfL’s initiative to use the Tube as a platform for creative projects.
