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.
