Roger Hiorns ,Seizure,Art Angel


I went to see this intervention last year and the memory of it has stayed with me. An Art Angel project just outside Elephant and Castle....reuses a very rundown area of London and intervenes briefly. On reflection this module highlights how a project like this can generate interest in a community. The hoards of people flocking to see this work would not.....I'm sure, normally travel through this neglected but colourful area. I've included a link below for more details of the project.

i'm posting these on behalf of me and lucy, because we both really really like this guy (feel free to add more chewing gum examples though lucy!!) he works in london and has been doing this for quite a while...no specific place, although a few years ago his plan was to start at the top end of High Street in Barnet and work his way to the centre of london. he does all kinds of paintings on the gum, including animals, flowers, faces, cups of tea, and does quite a few special requests or 'in memory of' pieces. and strawberries :] i like it that its so small and almost unnoticable but reallyreally cool at the same time.
