Art ahoy! Thames show to feature capsized yacht

A capsizing yacht that refuses to sink is one the attractions at London's first annual art exhibition on the Thames.

The contemporary art show, taking place this autumn, will feature seven works by major international and emerging artists.

They include a recreation of Blackfriars railway bridge through laser light, mythical creatures swimming in the river at twilight and a soundscape of the seaside that will be played to people crossing the Millennium bridge.

The works will be placed along the river bank between Blackfriars Bridge and Tower Bridge and will be on show from 26 September to 19 October.

A series of free boat tours and an educational programme for members of the public will run alongside the exhibition.
