EVOKE! 8: Public Expression Sticker Board, Covent Garden, London. 25/4/2010


Number eight in the series, The Public Expression Board, installed in Covent Garden in London aimed to provide a fun and playful experience, and a platform for self expression and creativity for everyday people within a public urban environment where it was denied before. This unique urban intervention was comprised of two elements, an Expression Board and a Sticker point. The Sticker Point gained form from an industrial toilet roll dispenser holding a large roll of peel-able white sticky labels. Mounted on the front of the dispenser was six Sharpie permanant markers mounted on the front. The Expression Board was made with four black A2 mountboards with a decal banner running across the top reading Public Expression Board: Place Your Stickers Here. The boards were stapled together to make one large board for members of the public to interact with. The Installation was documented by both photography and recorded by a hidden video camera facing the board.
