Platform for Art is an enterprising scheme to install art works at various sites on the London Underground network. Most of these art works take the form of billboards or posters. It began with the redundant District Line platform at Gloucester Road station, which has hosted a series of billboards. Other Platform for Art projects in 2004 have included Mark Titchner, Muntean/Rosenblum and Emma Kay.
Lars Arrhenius created an intricate web of narratives involving 18 characters in more than 250 illustrations, against the background of blown-up images of pages from the London A-Z. The stories intersect across the map horizontally, vertically and diagonally, in a formation reminiscent of the map of the underground network itself. The project featured on billboards at Gloucester Road tube station.
This is a circuit poster, used at locations across the tube network to advertise the Platform for Art projects to travellers.
