When is does it become Art?

When does it become art?

I was walking along the Thames river in Putney I cam across Deodar Road which had been covered in 2000 toy cars, round and over the walls, pavements and street lamps. In some of the cars there were tiny speakers so that when viewers leant in, they were able to hear the sound of real, funny, mundane and unguarded conversations going on inside the cars.These car conversations were recorded by the residents of Deodar Road. Over fifty households got involved with the project and many people walking along the road seemed bemused to say the least. With many of these toy cars were on the floor, at the end of numerous drives. I did wonder as to how the Health and Safety aspect of this event had been signed off as it seemed to be something similar to a road littered with banana skins.

Car conversations was awarded one of the 2012 ‘Shimmy’ commissions to make a piece of public art on Deodar Road as part of the Wandsworth Arts Festival.
