PAINTED BOXES IN PHIBSBORO

Dublin Canvas is a new innovative community based art project which offers a range of benefits and opportunities for enhancing the urban environment, increasing the use and enjoyment of public space and building social cohesion through art. The aim of Dublin Canvas is to add colour to the city making Dublin a more beautiful place to live, work and visit.

This stage of the project will be using traffic light control boxes. These boxes, previously designed to go unnoticed will now become canvases for artwork. Dublin Canvas is currently seeking participants for the project which will now consist of a further 60 traffic light control boxes located within the Dublin South East area and Dublin North Central Area.

I went to school in the city centre and we were taught to spell it as Phibsboro but it would appear that the current spelling is Phibsborough.

There is no information available to me about the two street-side cabinets in my photographs.

There is an ongoing programme whereby Street Artists are permitted to use traffic control cabinets as their canvas. The programme is known as Dublin Canvas [Paint-A-Box] and I was planning to photograph every installation but they are appearing faster than I can photograph them.

My mission has become a bit more complicated as different types of cabinets are now being painted [officially or unofficially] by street artists, local communities or commercial advertisers. It most cases the artist or the responsible organisation is not identified.
