Finally a few images | National Cherry Blossom

Finally I am able to upload some of the images from my DC call boxes tours.

My Camera is still in the repair shop, so all these images come from a friend's iphone.

This first series is taken from the Call Boxes that are down by the museums and run straight down by the water. The boxes are all refurbished and painted blue and pink. Their "theme" is the cherry blossoms and representations in honor of the festival as well as the Mall in general. The artist that painted the original work is Thomas Chesterfield. The work, as the plaque explains, was originally painted in 1990, and was later used for this call box. It is then a reproduction of the work itself. This questions the value of the work, and the value of reproductions or re-creation, which was a very heated argument in modern art.

The plaque in the back serve as explanation of the work and give a little background, very much like the museum tags do. This is something that perhaps can be kept in the my proposal.
