Placehunting (3)

theaeblackthorn (”there is this really cool thing they’re doing for the Brighton Festival”) is up to twenty. Jane Dallaway has now photographed 30. Donna Close - who acted as liaison on behalf of Brighton and Hove Council - texted to say: “took 7 hours but we got 38″.

Bloggers on 41 Places

This from Babble Babble Babble:

I don’t know how long they will stay up - presumably it’s only for the festival, which is perhaps a bit of a shame becasue I like the idea of making some quite impersonal aspects of the city more personable. It’s quite profound and deeply spiritual in the context of our inter-connectedness with one another and understanding of the importance of place.

Placehunting (2)

Out and about on Wednesday I saw a woman photographing No. 13. She turned out to be Jane Dallway, the woman behind Brighton Bloggers. Since then she has set up this excellent 41 Places site to try and track down all 41.

Placehunting

There’s a flickr site where 41 place hunters are finding/not finding sites. All results shared.

Updates

The phone box on Brighton seafront - 05 They Reach Out And Kiss - has now been fully installed. When Standard 8 turned up to install the vinyl last week they found the box had been vandalised. BT Payphones kindly marked the job as an emergency and replaced the glass at the weekend.

You can see a photo of the new installation on the flickr group 41 Places.

Sadly the installation in Duke Street - 40 Rejoining real life was bewildering - was vandalised on Friday night and two of the panels are now missing. We’re seeing if we can afford replacements.
