thanks again to the guys at kore for the link in their e-mail (which i've also spotted in creative review) to the work of candy chang. the idea is simple - spray paint before i die i want to... on a wall and leave space for people to fill in the blanks. there are a lot of other great ideas on her site which are along similar lines encouraging people to express their hopes, dreams, wants, longings - whether on walls, posters, pavements... i am making this a worship trick as there is so much moving worship into public space i am sure someone will manage to do something similar - no 6 in series 4!
Thankyou for this Jonny - it's got a whole heap of ideas flowing for doing the same and then similar things at our church. We're located right in the middle of a busy little suburb/town centre with heaps of people moving around and we could place an installation like this permanently right where people are waiting for the lights.... I'm excited by the potential....
I love her ideas and I can see us using them to connect people to the community and each other... So simple, but so much fun and so unexpected....
