So the proposal. You'll notice there's no Gallery there, that
white strip on the left is now where the Gallery is. So this is
a couple of years ago, a hole in the ground and a white board.
We're hoping to make six metre wide black and white bands for
the entire length of the canal, right the way through the square,
as if you'd bought a job lot of carpet. Uncompromising. Going
through as an absolute statement. And that it would be done extremely
well.
As you leave here you might just look at the condition of the
great democratic space, the pavement, the one that the rich, the
poor, the young, the old, everybody inhabits and just look at
how its made, because if you wanted to measure a culture you could
measure our's by that space.
I was hugely encouraged to see that my idea was so chic that they're
even trying it out at the dome. Except, of course, they are not
trying it out there because they're completely confused and they
don't know what colour to use. So this is a series of four strips
where they're spending the nation's spondulicks working out whether
it should be brown, or red or grey or black. |
