Designed by British artist Anya Gallaccio, the \u2018giant symbol of life\u2019 will stand on South Crescent, Store Street, in Fitzrovia.<\/p>\n<h2>About Anya Gallaccio<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anya_Gallaccio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anya Gallaccio<\/a> (born 1963) is a British artist and queer woman who creates site-specific, minimalist installations and often works with organic matter. She sometimes re-creates works. Her most well-known work Red on Green was originally made for her first solo showing in a public gallery, at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London in 1992. It was then recreated ten years later for the exhibition <em>Blast to Freeze: British Art in the 20th Century<\/em> mounted by Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in 2002 \u2013 2003 and for the 2004 British Council exhibition <em>Turning Points: 20th Century British Sculpture<\/em>. In 2003, Gallaccio was shortlisted for the Turner Prize alongside Grayson Perry, Jake and Dinos Chapman and Willie Doherty. Since then she has exhibited her site-specific installation both in England, the USA and in some European countries. Her work challenges the traditional notion that an art object or sculpture should essentially be a monument within a museum or gallery. Instead her work often lives through the memory of those that saw and experienced it \u2013 or the concept of the artwork itself.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do we need an AIDS Memorial in London?<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9eva0O48DWc?si=ykbYkVX95jjYu2c_\" width=\"780\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Video (2:19): Why do we need an AIDS Memorial in London?
