'In Context'.
Site specific
Public art project exploring the use of text in public space. Within a
defined shopping area of Brighton, sites where text is usually found was
appropriated and our own text was gradually introduced. This culminated
in the saturation of the area with ambiguous phrases identical in form
to everyday signs, slogans, parking tickets, street names etc. causing
wide-spread re-evaluation of the nature of text in the urban environment.
