The GRAND SEED BALL – launch of Park[ing] Day 2009 & The Green Felt

Makeshift Body & Park[ing] Day Brighton 2009 – “New Townhouses coming here soon”

 

 

 

Funny how things link up over time …

Today I re-visited a derelict space in the centre of Brighton as part of the Festival of Architecture 2009 and my on-going project, Woman with Watering Can – Planning Permission Reclined!.

 

I danced this very same space back in 2001, again as part of another long-term project entitled Makeshift Body, when the site was just a dusty, plant-less rubble field after the demolition of some large buildings. It served as a temporary parking space back then, and a nursery for the occasional juvenile seagull.

 

       

     

 

The now rather substantial site fencing had not been put up at that point, but then as now, a sign on the site reads: “New Townhouses coming here soon”.

 

 

That was over 8 years ago, and since then plants have taken over and transformed the site into a secret garden – inspiration for the up-coming Park[ing] Day here in Brighton in September 2009 …
