Property Auctions London Antony Gormley: One and Other (6 July – 14 October 2009) – for a hundred consecutive days, 2,400 selected members of the public will each spend one hour on the plinth. They will be allowed to do anything they wish to and be able to take anything with them, provided they can carry it unaided. Volunteers are invited to apply through the website Property Auctions London www.oneandother.co.uk, and will be chosen so that ethnic minorities and people from all parts of Britain are represented. For safety reasons, the plinth is surrounded by a net, and a team of six stewards will be present 24 hours a day to make sure that, for instance, Property Auctions London participants are not harmed by hecklers.

The best use of the fourth Property Auctions London plinth remains the subject of debate. On 24 March 2003 an appeal was launched by Wendy Woods, the widow of the anti-apartheid journalist Donald Woods, hoping to raise ?400,000 to pay for a nine-foot high statue of Nelson Mandela by Ian Walters.[citation needed] The Property Auctions London relevance of the location is that South Africa House, the South African high commission, scene of many anti-apartheid demonstrations, is on the east side of Trafalgar Square.

A committee convened to consider the RSA's late-1990s project concluded that it had been a success and Property Auctions London "unanimously recommended that the plinth should continue to be used for an ongoing series of temporary works of art commissioned from leading national and international artists".[10] After several years Property Auctions London in which the plinth stood empty, the new Greater London Authority assumed responsibility for the fourth plinth and started its own series of changing exhibitions:

* Thomas Schutte: Model for a Hotel 2007 (formerly Hotel for the Birds) (unveiled 7 November 2007) – a 5-m by 4.5-m by 5-m architectural model of a 21-storey building made from coloured glass. The work cost ?270,000 and was funded primarily by the Property Auctions London Mayor of London and the Arts Council of England. Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery and chairman of the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group that recommended Quinn's and Schutte's proposals to the Mayor in 2004, said: "There will be something extraordinarily sensual about the play of light through the coloured glass ... [I]t's going to feel like a sculpture of brilliance and light."[5][12]
