The Sonning Guerilla Artist is back
Nov. 8th, 2004 10:45 amSome time ago, I commented on the arrival of a strange installation on the roundabout in Sonning. It was a full-sized house door, in a frame, complete with milk on the doorstep and newspaper through the letterbox. It didn't stay there long.
This morning, the roundabout had grown a profusion of concrete gravestones. One headstone read "THE DINNER ON THE ROUNDABOUT", a Victorian grave surround marked the memory of "THE DOOR ON THE RIVER". There were a couple of others I couldn't read (I was trying to drive round the roundabout), and I'm not 100% sure about the ones I did see.
If there had been a grave to 'the door on the roundabout' I might have thought it was a series of memorials to the artist's various projects which had been destroyed. As it is, I have no clue. I hope they're there long enough for me to have time to photograph them - annoyingly, I took the camera out of my bag this morning before I left for work.
(
zandev, did you notice them on the way in ? Can you offer any explanation ?)
Anyway, someone is doing strange and cool things. Hurrah for them. Once again, my Designated Hero of the Week is an unknown artist.
