Turbine Hall Proposal 2009

AMALGUM, Henry Ward and Andee Collard, proposed to park a Routemaster London bus in the Turbine Hall. The proposal was that the windows of the bus would be engraved, in the manner of graffiti, with beautifully composed images that could be viewed from inside and out. The proposal followed a suggestion that arose at the launch of the Reading Room at the ICA in a discussion with a student, Joseph Smith, and the artist Richard Wentworth.
