A couple of weeks ago one of The Creativity Manifesto found this Post office sign discarded on the street, (probably due to Governments' sad closures of local community branches, after much creative debate and discussion we agreed to contact to the Post Office to see if they would consider sponsoring a small community art event/exhibition, during which we would exhibit the sign (which illuminates an entire room with a red glow when plugged in) as a "Ready-made" piece of art in the same manner as Marcel Duchamp's "Urinal" by R.Mutt. Of course our creative and social intention would be around the fact that the closure of local Post Office branches is a direct indication of how Government social policy is actively contributing to the loss of social bonds and Community cohesion. We await the response of the P.O with baited breath.
