99 Balloons Go By......

Concept for exhibition:
Me and Freya have had the idea to release some colour into the London skyline, we will be doing this by releasing balloons in a certain place within London, we have thought about where this will take place and when. Chelsea college of art and design has a courtyard which is central within London and visible to the public, on the 21st of january at 1pm 2011 wherever you are in london look up!!

We first had the idea to put colour into london by filling a space with balloons, but we thought that we would do something a bit different, for us an exhibition is not necessairily something that has to be in a indoor space, it doesnt have to be perminant or temporary, it can be something that just dissapears within time never to be seen again, we are challenging the term given to exhibition. we are giving London colour by releasing the balloons outside and leaving people to watch and see as they hopefully travel across the London skyline.

On each balloon there will be a postcard in which we will write to people explaining our exhibition and for them to hopefully write back, telling us where the postcard reached. This will give us an idea of how far the balloons have gone from the starting point and it is also giving us something back from what we are giving to London.
