Great day last saturday!
Over the course of the day I worked with groups to make our own 'artverts' based on Warhol's iconographic images of classic packaging.
It was great fun and many people came and made pieces inspired by things such as Bubble gum, string, batteries, sellotape, cheese and even tornadoes (not quite sure how that one got in there!)
The response was great and I was impressed and inspired by everyones ingenuity and humour. One of my favourite moments was aiding in the recording of 'I like string'- a bonafide modern classic!
I will try and put some of them up here and some pics, just got to figure out this here blog thing!

We're All Artists Now
The day after.
I've calmed down a bit now. Yesterday was such a blast; it's exciting when projects spontaneously erupt and become something more than the original concept. This is what Joseph Beuys was talking about, I think, when he came up with the term Social Sculpture. The sheer volume of participants made it tricky to photograph, but Marcia managed to capture some of the calmer moments. Thanks to everyone who visited our trolley, discarded their inhibitions and discovered the joy of participation.
