The initiatives, which have been conceived to involve as wide an audience as possible – in contrast with the more noble and institutional Venetian counterpart – this year concentrate on urban change in the British capital. The programme includes both serious and humorous events: from cycle tours and walks to interventions featuring a number of star names, such as Rem Koolhaas who promises to attract a thousand spectators to the Barbican and Renzo Piano who has even planned a “sermon” at Southwark Cathedral. Opening the festival will be a choreographic parade of sheep along the Millennium Bridge, lead by Sir Norman Foster, shepherd for a day. E.S.
