We’re delighted to welcome to the team producer Jeremy Goldstein of London Artists Projects. Jeremy comes flushed with Edinburgh success, having won a Fringe First for A Life in Three Acts, a performance piece developed from conversations between Mark Ravenhill and legendary Bloolips drag artist Bette Bourne.
Jeremy was also jointly responsible, with Maria Carnesky, for Carnesky’s Ghost Train – blending performance art with fairground ride to wide acclaim.
We’re damn sure Jeremy will find his unique take on contemporary arts fits right in with the project. Jeremy says: ‘I am what I eat – rich, spicy, sweet, sour, bitter, hot, cold, à la carte, junk, fast, delicate, tender, rare, exotic, local, take-away, international – take your pick’. Yum, we’ll be trying them all...

Have you decided on which buildings will be chosen for the project ?? Please make them visible as you enter London by train !! Approaching Waterloo is really depressing, and we could really do with something good to take our attention away from all the muck and rubble !! Hopefully, by 2012 the 'clean up squad' will have had a mass tidy up !!!
can't wait to see the buildings !! Good luck and we hope you win !!
The UK has one of the most developed visual arts communities in the world. Added to that we have some of the most iconic buildings and backdrops of any major city. Mind you we have a great deal of sorry looking hovels too, that need a makeover.
I’ve seen a combination of both used to project images in cities and at events around the globe and it can transform the emotive feelings of the city.
This is a perfect way to celebrate and use the talent and canvas at our disposal. With backing by major movers and shakers in industry, public sector and the arts this could be a physical, emotional and commercial success. A vibrant feel to the city will not only get us all jeered up for what is a once in a lifetime event but will demonstrate to the world what a bohemian lot us Brits really are.
Boris and Lord Coe take note; it’s everything you’ve been punting about our great city.
Looking outside of my Central London office on this drab and rainy day makes me yearn for something bright, bold and energetic.
You have my vote for this.
I like the idea of not needing to build new structures but exsisting landmarks and breathing new life into them. Also there could be a range of feelings/expressions evoked across different buildings
We like the 'Breathing life into Landmark London Buildings'. It will have the biggest impact for the largest number of people and will make them look at existing buildings in a new light. Regardless of age, gender and background all will be able to access and appreciate this form of art. Buildings will be transformed for the Olympics. We hope Simon Elliott's and Auro Foxcroft's project will be the chosen one.
