Leake Street - Tunnel 228 - Kevin Spacey, by toothfairy on May 7, 2009 20:30:44 GMT 1, I usually check the forum at lunch time, but was too busy at work today.
I'm gutted. Can't even see what I'm typing right now, as the tears are streaming out of my eyes.

Leake Street - Tunnel 228 - Kevin Spacey, by slowmo on May 7, 2009 20:43:56 GMT 1, Where Banksy leads mainstream culture eventually follows. Credit to Kevin Spacey, he decided on stealing the cans festival crossed with a punchdrunk theatre production and BOOM, a whole new audience attracted by a big hollywood name are drawn into a more contemporary world of art and theatre than they would otherwise see.
Well done Kevin, he has been a credit in championing the fringe in London these last few years and this looks like another great move to get mainstream 'culture vultures' onto a more contemporary bent.
Knight the fucker now!

Leake Street - Tunnel 228 - Kevin Spacey, by romanywg on May 8, 2009 17:53:16 GMT 1, The tunnels are vast and everything there is on a massive scale and pays homage to Metropolis which is what inspired the whole project. Men walking in vast wooden wheels that turn other cogs and gears and mysterious people round every corner. Looking through a tiny hole you see (In 3D) a naked woman treading water, she takes a breath of air and goes under water to kiss her drowning lover whilst up high they are being overlooked by a fat man silhouetted in the bright light. Then a tiny miniature of a shell petrol station with some tiny tiny models. Just didn't mean anything I'm afraid.

Leake Street - Tunnel 228 - Kevin Spacey, by Ruggs on May 8, 2009 19:14:45 GMT 1, An excerpt from Slinkachu's site says, 'All the installations feature shift workers or night workers of one sort or another; the people who keep things running in a city behind the scenes, in reference to the workers in the film Metropolis who slave away below ground to keep the city running for those above...' New installation picture added too! little-people.blogspot.com/

Leake Street - Tunnel 228 - Kevin Spacey, by romanywg on May 8, 2009 20:14:53 GMT 1, Just hours after thelondonpaper yesterday revealed details of the "Tunnel 228" project, organised by Old Vic artistic director Kevin Spacey and theatre company Punchdrunk, all 15,000 tickets had gone.
But we have good news - the "immersive" show is set to return for a second run this autumn.
Says Spacey: "I always said if it looks like a success we will aim to reopen in the fall."
Plans are already under way to revive the project, which sees an entire dystopian world created in labyrinthine tunnels beneath Waterloo Station, around September this year.
However it would have to be approved by the owners of the tunnels, BRBR - formerly British Rail - and may not be free second time around.
Added Spacey: "It may have to be a regular paid-for show. Not much, but we have to cover our overheads."
It comes as scores of disgruntled Punchdrunk fans have bombarded Twitter sites and thelondonpaper.com, complaining of being unable to lay their hands on the free tickets.

I have seen the box with the video installation of Doug Foster last September at the Only Human exhibition at the FAS.
It was very impressive, because you get the impression they are inside the box. www.faslondon.com/artist_contemporary/Doug_Foster_8387.aspx

"Just as Banksy has now gone mainstream, with Sothebyโs and Bonhamโs now auctioning his work, so the once avant-garde theatrical art installation company Punchdrunk have now officially, it seems, been similarly absorbed: their latest work, Tunnel 228, that is being shown for free in a dank collection of vaults below Waterloo station, is co-produced in a partnership between the Old Vic and Young Vic, and with major sponsorship from Bloomberg."
