'Vista Veg' - Vista is working on a project to develop our box scheme into a community supported agriculture project (CSA) in 2009. We are looking to apply our knowledge acquired in this project to the urban public realm. 'Black Mirror' Vista Projects and Landlab worked together to develop a £2.4million public art/public realm programme for Falkirk Council in support of its successful bid to the Big Lottery's Living landmarks competition. Falkirk won ahead of 313 entrants across the UK to scoop the £25million pound grant.
'Exhibition installation' For the exhibition at the Beacon Museum celebrating the 300 years of Whitehaven Harbour. Christian persuaded the commissioners to display their company records surrounded by portraits of themselves and their employees. During the exhibition both groups sat for a group portrait amongst this material. The portrait of the commissioners (11 metres by 4) was displayed in the harbour itself. 'Futurescope' is another collaboration between Christian and John Kennedy of Landlab, Futurescope will be a series of eight images 45 feet in diameter which will link the regeneration of Lingfield Point in Darlington to ecological and social themes. The work will start in 2009 and end in 2011. The project has been commissioned by Marchday and Lingfield Point Developments Ltd
