STARMAN MEETS BLACKSTAR BY NICOLETTA FALTRACCO

PAINTED BOXES IN PHIBSBORO

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.

SORRY FOR THE DELAY
