| Description |
The BT Artbox Story The good old British phone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee. This year we’ve got a Diamond Jubilee and London 2012 to look forward to, so we decided we needed to do something to celebrate. That something turned into BT ArtBox. It’s a campaign that thrives on the nation’s artistic talent. Across London’s streets you’ll find replicas of the Gilbert Scott phone box, transformed by the imaginations of some of our very best creative minds. Then later on we’ll be auctioning all the boxes off to raise money for ChildLine’s 25th anniversary. “Beacon” Artist: Steven Dray Location: Piccadilly Hi-vis phone box Beacon is an intentionally conspicuous device designed to attract attention and raise a smile. Traditionally used to mark occasions and celebrate events, I thought it a fitting idea for an ArtBox given the backgound of the initiative. The Becon as device for communication, pre-date the telephone by centuries so this also comes into playful focus when viewing the work (a pair of sunglasses might help too?) |
