The National Portrait Gallery (London) organizes the exhibition Road to 2012: Changing Pace, which reunites a series of new photographic portraits of top athletes alongside the people who have supported their Olympic and Paralympic ambition, as well as directors, writers and designers involved in the staging of London 2012.
The 37 portraits on show are by Emma Hardy and Finlay MacKay, the latest photographers to be commissioned for the National Portrait Gallery/BT Road to 2012 Project as part of the Cultural Olympiad. Road to 2012: Changing Pace is the second exhibition in a three-year cycle funded by BT that documents Britain’s top athletes and key figures behind the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Road to 2012: Changing Pace continues the journey to London 2012 that started with last year’s exhibition Road to 2012: Setting Out. The three-year project will create up to 100 newly commissioned photographic portraits celebrating the people who will collectively make the London 2012 Games happen.

Location: National Portrait Gallery. St Martin's Place. London. WC2H 0HE. United Kingdom.
