BT ArtBox comes to VQ
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ChildLine, and to coincide with
the diverse and exciting cultural projects being held across the UK in
the run up to London 2012, BT launched the BT ArtBox project - a vast,
open-air art exhibition taking over London’s streets last summer.
Taking inspiration from the Gilbert Scott-designed original K6 kiosk, BT
engaged more than 80 leading talents to re-style that much-loved icon
of British design, the red telephone box, in their own creative way.
Each BT ArtBox artist has transformed a full-size, fibre-glass replica
of the original telephone kiosk introduced in 1936 to commemorate the
Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
