Sclater Street (Brick Lane) - Completely Buffed

It was always gonna be just a matter of time before the Hall of Fame was completely taken out by the corporate suits. This is the general plan for all the Halls of Fame in London and as we all know, where's there's a blank wall you'll always attract taggers and wannabe vandals. One by one the infamous Hall of Fame's are disappearing…When will the authorities learn that by banning proper graffiti / street artists they run the risk of badly drawn tags, names, doodling…Commission artists to paint walls and they wont look so messy...

CIDA NEWSFLASH - Call for artists

CIDA is commissioning artists to cover 54m2 of builders hoarding. The hoarding, which is in Brick Lane will be in situ until the beginning of Feb 2010.

3m2 sections [2.4mx1.2m] will be allocated to each successful artist [18 in total] but larger sections are available if you can convince us that your concept deserves more space.

We are assigning a two day window [12th & 13th Nov] for the completion of the artwork [a process which will be filmed] but we are happy for finishing touches to be applied later if absolutely necessary. The finished work will be marketed by CIDA and each artist will be interviewed about their contribution.

Material expenses are covered but work is unpaid. Brick Lane is a bustling street throughout the week and ‘opportunity to see’ will be high. The hoarding protects building work on a grade 1 listed building the ‘Jamme Masjid’ (Jamme Mosque).
