| 説明 | The BT Artbox StoryThe 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.“City of Birds”Artist: Pete BishopLocation: Achilles WayEnvisioning a place of nurture and safety.A city built by scavenging birds, accessing all the debris, the forgotten, the forsaken rubbish and ignored remnants lying around to build these nests, these birdhouses.A magpie architecture of the discarded and the everyday. A safe place of play of fun for birds. For the bird is a child and the box is a home.So the BT phone box inspires an extra function in the environment, an appendage like a living hat, another habitat. The bird houses use old planks, an abandoned chest of drawers, toys, crayons, stirring sticks from cafes, a broken barometer and all the usual debris we have around us. |
