VICTOR PASSMORE "APOLLO PAVILLION"
This urban creation was comissioned by Peterlee County Councill,the artist Victor Passmore ,wanted to build a walk in walk out ,a place to linger to think dream,play as he said "a free anonymous monument".
this was the idea .
However by the 1970s "sunny blunts"became certainley a place to loiter.it became a drug den,litter strewn everywhere,a no go area ,and being next to a lake it became covered in mould a real sodding eyesore.I love this building its been panned by locals and critics,they are now coming round to the idea and spending money on it!

Artist: Zarina Bhimji

This is one of a collection of five stills and a short film Zarina Bhimji exhibited for the turner prize in 2oo7 . These images were collected over a period of many months when bhimji spent days travelling the trade and imigration routes in Uganda, talking to people from all the places she came into contact with. Uganda has a colourful history partly from suffering from Idi Amin and the migration and uproar that this causes. Ifound it particularly relevent her as she closely anlysis the movement and pathways of people and place.

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.
