Commissioned by the Arts Council for the Cultural Olympiad, an arts and culture project running alongside the London 2012 Olympic Games, Anthony McCall's Column has finally been given a green light. The spinning pillar of steam will rise 2km into the air above the Wirral waterfront on Mersey. As it will be on the flight path to John Lennon airport, the plans had to be given the go ahead by the civil aviation authority. Column is one of 12 artworks across the UK commissioned to celebrate the Games of the XXX Olympiad.
