Five illuminated billboards have been installed in Snowsfield car park, overlooking Guy Street Park. The billboards display commissioned artworks made by artists working with different section of the local community. The second show is Marq Kearey�s young persons summer project. Marq's work looks at how the urban environment intentionally and unintentionally subverts street signage's messages. Marq explored these ideas with over 35 young people in workshops at REPA (Rockingham Estate Play Association). They combed the streets and collected graphic images to make collages by cutting, tearing and pasting. Marq then used these collages to create the artworks that can be seen displayed within the light boxes. Summer show continues until 28 November: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. http://www.guystreetpark.com ------------------------------------------------------- Running an event? http://SE1direct.co.uk/inclusion.php ======================================================= [ ADVERT: Southwark Rose Hotel & Bankside Restaurant ] Southwark Rose hotel and Bankside Restaurant weekend offer - �45 pppn.
