Turner Contemporary Images

I’m proud to announce we are the first online/print source to display a full selection of hi-resolution images of the new Turner Contemporary building - a big thank you to the staff over at TC for these.
Bloggers and commentators were quick off the mark to analyse the designs based only on the small image released yesterday, so I hope seeing these designs on a larger scale will help give a truer representation of the building. (To repeat what David Chipperfield said yesterday - this is not the completed design, but in order to present these ideas to the public they are forced to give them an air of finality.)

As a working professional Sound designer, Composer and Musician, (worldwide), who lives locally I wrote a formal letter of introduction to Ms Pommery over a month ago.
I had been introduced (by Miria Swain an assitant curator from Oxford) to the ’soundartist’ who had been comissioned (from Estonia) to install his work on the seafront as per the publicity for the >arrivals series for ‘contact’ with local artists. She has strongly suggested I contact Ms Pommery if I had any ‘ideas’ as she put it.
Although no reciprocal arrangement was forthcoming from Estonia for any of the local Artists from here I was promised some sort of involvement there (a festival inclusion, or something). I heard nothing apart from the fact a festival was arranged subsequently without my knowlege so I was not able to even submit work for consideration.
So, I offered to present to Ms Pommery, her board and directors, a realistic concept to draw ALL the local people (of whom I am one) directly (and simply) into the building of the Turner Contemporary. However I have not even had the courtesy of an acknowlegement, as yet. I will let you know when, or if, I do.
Thankyou Mark Hewins

As Promised;
After sending a ’round robin’ mailshot, as a reminder, I was called today by a curator from Turner wanting to arrange a meeting so I can a least pitch my idea to them. Watch this space.
Thanks for the oxygen of publicity Thanet Bloggers, and all the other local well wishers. I will do my best to include everyone whether chav, eastcliff, or even disinterested. I think/hope you will all like what I will be proposing to Turner Contemporary!
