Description:	'The Art of the Possible' engages with Britain's largest public sculpture, The ArcelorMittal Orbit in the Olympic Park in East London. The essay explores two examples of effective resistance to the symbolic and actual dominance of the public and commons by private capital. Such acts of resistance focus on specific issues, but they also enlarge the range of possibilities for other liberating struggles at the intersection of cultural practice and political action.
