Summary

[edit]
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.

“Holyphone” Artist: Stephen Cox Location: Exchange Square

I think it's supposed to look like the phonebox has been restored back to a day when we used wood for everything. Or actually... is it a comment on how obsolete buildings and structures in the country are forever being boarded up?
