FAB FridgeIn June 2010 we exhibited directly on the streets of Bath as part of the Fringe Arts Bath Festival.
Every artist received a thank you magnet of their image in the post.
Each magnet had a serial number and the website address.
Members of the public were invited to pick the magnets up, take them home, visit the website and find out who had made the one they had found.
Dean Reddick and I had a fantastic day putting up the magnets all round Bath.
93 Artists - 200+ images 400+ magnets

In July 2010 we exhibited as part of the Hazard MMX Festival in Manchester.
Artists were invited to submit work which responded to the theme 'Modern Hazards'.
The organiser, Tamsin Drury, had brilliantly arranged for us to place the magnets in the Arndale Centre, where shoppers picked them up.
The magnets carried all the usual addresses and numbers etc.
Peter S Smith and Glittermouse helped me place them.

Light Bite 2011
This February 18th we'll be exhibiting 250 magnets on the lamp posts of Nottingham as part of the Light Night Festival. For one night the city stays up so that its attractions and symbols are seen in a new light. The spectators get to see the unusual in a familiar environment and 'lose themselves' in the city, which is transformed into a stage for the night. Light Night is the best showcase for gaining wide public interest and participation so that people ‘buy into' their city in a short amount of time.
