By Jon Thomson and Alison Craighead

London-based artists Jon Thomson and Alison Craighead originally created Here in 2011 as a virtual image for The Mini Museum of XXI Century Arts, an online digital media platform. The concept was to mark the distance of the work from itself along a North/South axis.  

The physical sculpture, fabricated to UK road standards two years later, marks the 24,859 mile distance around the earth and back. The current placement of this sculpture is particularly relevant in its current location on the Greenwich Meridian, which is located at 0 degrees longitude. 

Here is part of The Line, London’s first dedicated modern and contemporary art walk.
