ARTIST- PHOTOGRAPHERS ]
[ RE: MOVING ] was
an of exhibition of photographs by Bobby Lloyd and Caroline Christie
that took place in London on four iconic red Routemaster buses,
number 38, throughout the month of October 2005. It made use of
all advertising spaces on the interior lower and upper decks as
well as the exterior back panel.
The exhibition consisted of approximately 55 photographic images
taken over a 2 year period, between September 2003 and August 2005,
in the Channel Tunnel Rail Link site at Stratford and the landscape
that will become home to London’s Olympics in 2012.
THE RATIONALE The
project offered Londoners and visitors a unique glimpse of the at
times dramatic and usually hidden changes happening in the 2012
Olympic area.
The exhibition was designed to reach the widest possible audience
as it travelled on London's busiest bus route, between one of the
Olympic Boroughs (Hackney) and the centre of London.
The exhibition also aimed to mark the final month of the number
38 Routemaster buses in service, now replaced by bendy buses. |
This exhibition
was funded by Arts Council, England.
With thanks to Transport for London, Arriva and
the Channel Tunnel Rail Link site at Stratford.
