Retweet Restreet London

We're busy preparing for our next Re-street/Re-tweet walk. This time it'll be across London where we'll bring some local flavour, humour and profundity back to this vibrant city.
In October we re-streeted New York as part of the Art In Odd Places exhibition. We placed 150 magnetic tweets from locals along 14th Street. You can still see the pictures in the slideshow (right).

One Saturday in November we'll be starting at Harrow on the Hill station walking along the route (left) until we get to Gunnersbury station. Along the way we'll be placing magnet vignettes on metallic surfaces. And yes, we'll be walking the other letters of LONDON in due course.

This time we have a fantastic team of Darren Atkinson (Photography/Social Media), Harvey Wells (Walker/Brains) and Alban Low (Art/Magnets).

If you'd like to participate and live somewhere along this 'L Map' then email us at smartwalks@live.co.uk or on twitter at @albanart or @smartwalks

Art in Odd Places Exhibition

The Art in Odd Places Exhibition was a fantastic and scarey experience. I placed 150 magnets along 14th Street, New York between The Highline and 9th Avenue. The Festival ran from 1st - 10th October 2011 and include over 60 artists from around the world whose aim was to push the boundaries of exhibiting without permits in public spaces.

I used tweets from 75 New York locals. I wanted to re-personalise some of these public spaces that seem to have been scrubbed on any personal/local flavour.

Being on my own added to the spice of the weekend. I was very generously shown around the best Jazz spots by one of the tweeters and good bloke @MikeDiRubbo.

Its something I'd like to do again.

Get in touch with at @albanart on twitter if you fancy a chat.

Cheers, Alban
