The Legacy Fellowship, the first-ever artist fellowship to
fuse art and sport, has been awarded to John Gerrard.
Over the coming months John will be based at the University’s
Iffley Road sports complex, an officially recognised Pre-Games Training Camp,
where he will work alongside student athletes and 2012 hopefuls.
He was awarded
the fellowship for his proposal to create a realistic simulated world populated
by virtual athletes whose movements derive from the actions of real athletes in
the year building up to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
