How the Project Started:

This project first ‘opened' at ‘Space Winter Fate', Space Studios, 11 December 2004 . (Officially sanctioned!) http://www.spacestudios.org.uk/projects/public_art_project.asp?id=502

Themes, Ideas, Strategies:

To enable small scale, limited edition artists' work, PR and documentation to find an audience. By employing methods of stealth or more conventional officially sanctioned means, and remaining totally committed to mobility at all costs, to attempt to subvert the ‘normal' viewing habits of an art savvy and usually jaded audience.
