An artist friend of mine recently organised an art event which was based around the concept of a 'lounge'.
They used a large room in an arts centre & filled it with old sofa's, chairs, china cabinets etc!!!
Artists were invited to create site specific work based upon the concept.
They also asked artists to donate a re-designed bottle, can etc. which would become part of a 'bar' & then raffled to raise money to support future art events.
That's where I came in as an e-mail arrived from my friend asking me to create a bottle!!! Of course I had to oblige & couldn't think of anything better than a Newcastle Brown Ale bottle and a free book!
The event was great & they had a huge number of visitors to the event over the two days it was on.
On the final night we all sat around on large sofa's surrounded by 70's style coffee tables, china cabinets, low lighting provided by old lamps & of course the artwork drinking beer & watching a live band perform!
The lucky winner of my bottle in the raffle was a guy called Chris. So congratulations to Chris hope you enjoy the book too!
