The Olympic Delivery Authority has commissioned The Floating Cinema for Portavilion 2011 as part of their Inside Out series of art-led community engagement projects.  As part of their strategy to integrate art into the Olympic Park, the Arts and Cultural Strategy team at the ODA has devised ‘Inside Out’ to complement the permanent commissions in the Park and focus on artists working with communities in the host boroughs.  The first Inside Out commission Memory Marathon was conceived and produced by Film and Video Umbrella with artist Simon Pope, commissioned by the ODA and funded by the London Development Agency and Arts Council England.
