'Run' , a glass and stainless steel artwork by Monica Bonvicini, outside the Copper Box, in the Olympic Park, Stratford. Internationally-renowned artist Monica Bonvicini was commissioned to design a flagship artwork for outside the Copper Box. Monica designed three nine-metre tall letters forming the word ‘RUN’, made of glass and stainless steel. In daylight, the letters act as a mirror, and at night they become more transparent and glow with internal LED lighting. Monica’s inspiration for the work comes from musical references, such as ‘Running Dry’ by Neil Young, and the many uses of the Park. 'RUN' is the largest standalone artwork on the olympic park (at nine metres tall (30 feet) and is situated on the plaza of the 6,500-capacity copper box
