Writing's on the wall with Twitter artwork
Over the past few months Wasted Spaces has been on a mission to put a smile (literally) on the face of Wembley. This ongoing project involving interventions and temporary installations is set to expand through London in the summer months.
With funding from Brent Council Wasted Spaces brought together three internationally renowed artists – David Dope, Robert Hodgin and Rafael Rozendaal to create a six week long exhibition. The digital works came to life at dusk as they were projected onto a 50 metre high wall on Wembley High Road creating wonder and intrigue for the passers-by.
Meanwhile, Wasted Spaces also commissioned London-based artist duo Hellicar & Lewis to develop a piece for this location, which resulted in The Hello Wall, a piece that uses Twitter to let the public interact with the huge wall projection.
Wasted Spaces is currently in talks with two London Councils about taking over empty retail spaces for temporary installations. Wasted Spaces is a non-profit art organisation that transforms vacant properties and other unloved spaces into exciting art experiences. The collective was set up to provide a platform for up and coming artists, and to engage with communities through site-specific installations. By creating art that is both accessible and of high quality these projects provide a gateway for people who wouldn't usually encounter modern art.
