These notices have now been taken it out of the public space where it functions as a notice and brought it now into a new realm - that of art: fiction, metaphor and representation.
There is something in these smaller notices where the photocopied image of the selotape creates a distressed mark and where the defaced notices makes the tab illegible. For those tabs which are legible, I have cut them out - retaining the sense of potential and opportunity. By keeping the distressed marks, we are aware that this notice has been lifted out of the public realm where it once served a function. It reveals the marks and movement of a city
I am going to look for more of these notices, perhaps hidden under lots of old posters and need to be dug out...
