Some more collages

productive wall / picnic wall

open air cinema / theatre space

wall as noticeboard / venturi theory of size of sign to visibility of information

productive wall / picnic wall

visual transplant

I'm pretty sure I could keep providing ways of softening the walls oppression for the rest of the night...but I'm going to stop there although it may be useful to suggest these forms of artistic interventions within the landscape to gauge the PCC's reaction to (some) creative and less economical solutions.

Collage of possibilities

planted wall

sports wall (chalk football net / basketball net?)

painted games wall (where's wally)

activity wall / alternative ways of scaling the wall - slides / mountaineering

community mural / inspirational message (active involvement)

Some quick collages for the possibilities of the rear wall of the church. A really quick and dirty graphic style but I think its rather appealing because it portrays a suggestive emotion over a reality and recognises that the ideas are only redolent.

The Generator Project

Creating an "object" that stimulates debate about culture and creativity, the Wakefield Metropolitan District Council along with the city's 6 key Arts clients sponsored the Generator Project in order to collect communities responses on themes of movement, migration and home. The initail idea included a quirky "shed" with an internal "hive" for ideas and messages to be generated by the public over the summer and recorded on the project's website.

Altering perceptions

Stadtlounge St.Gallen

Stadtlounge in St.Gallen was created by Carlos Martinez Architects and artist Pipilotti Rist as a piece of public art within the urban realm, it is a pedestrianised area of the city centre that was designed to represent a lounge within the street environment, thus making people interact differently with the object around them and perceiving their environment in a unique and unaccustomed manner.
