In his landmark 1856 book on 3-D photography, The Stereoscope, the optical scientist Sir David Brewster suggested: For the purpose of amusement, the photographer may carry us even into the realms of the supernatural. His art enables him to give a spiritual appearance to one or more of his figures, and to exhibit them as [...]

Just found another art-event, that could be interesting and inspiring for all the tunnel-fans: An insight into the world of London graffiti. It is made by the photographers Brian David Stevens and Marc Vallée that have been documenting the London graffiti scene with a focus on the artists themselves. This two hour pop-up show will [...]

ONE DAY – FOUR PLACES – and some indian food in between
Posted: October 26, 2011 by lineeeeeeee in The Museum, The Prison, The Stadium, The TunnelWhat’s left behind? A lot of excited feelings about the development of the project and some questions_ PRISON_ * What comes out of boredom? * Does art make prisoners more socially acceptable? * What kind of artworks do WE have to serve the prisoners?

Some ideas I’ve had about Greenwich Tunnel: Having visited Greenwich Tunnel before as an underground commuter, I somewhat knew the space without experiencing it. These are some thoughts I have had since leaving the tunnel on Friday. - The aural quality of the space is quite overbearing. The sound echoes throughout and I think this [...]

Museum : – School tours, Interactive, Ready made space, In [...]
The Magical mystery tour is waiting to take you away…
Posted: October 23, 2011 by theoprice in The Museum, The Prison, The Stadium, The TunnelIt was a great trip on Friday and, not only good to see the sites, but to get to meet people within the group and have longer conversations than just 5mins on the steps outside No. 47… In terms of the sites, each one has its merits and would hold a project well, yet personally [...]
The Greenwich Foot-Tunnel is, for my mind, a site to be reckoned with. Its limitations are second to none. Yes, the prison is necessarily restrictive in terms of visitor access, but do not let the public nature of the tunnel deceive you: any project in here must not obstruct thoroughfare, must not harm or [...]
