Cambridge Colleges (institution Project)

[Paul Lange]

Some of you may remember one of my projects called Institution?

When I get the chance I add to it and these were taken during a visit to Cambridge where I had some time to wonder about (and sneak through doors I probably shouldn't have).

I like there Paul, and I feel like I know exactly what interests you in them ... Had a wonder around the soon to be closed Worcester art college last week... Proper Victorian institution it is, and had I not been rushed, I think I could have spent a long time taking shots fairly similar to these!

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks Hamish It is a project I would like to do more of but it can be a little difficult sneaking into places but some of the local hospitals should be OK I guess.

BTW, I have now corrected the title..

 

[Tom Dunne]

Great work Paul and great ideas. Love the austere mood of the first two especially.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

As always...well done sir. Love the simplicity of your work.

I keep looking at your work in this vein, Paul, and marvel at it. We walk past this stuff everyday, and it makes up a large part of our experience of our lives, yet we pay it little heed. I can think of no other art form that does this so well - just gently stops us in our tracks and says, "Look. This is your world". Without judgement. Yet it has beauty. I'm a fan!

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks all, glad you like them so much.

 

[Pete Askew]

Superb additions to the eerie and I like them all. Can't help but wonder what event in a gents toilet could result in a red light to flash though!

 

[Pete Askew]

And I like the way the door to the theatre looks more like the toilets than the door one marked 'Male'.

You didn't have a screwdriver with you by any chance did you?!

 

[Paul Lange]

Damn, you found me out. I actually carry a set of signs around with me and if I can't find anything I set it up my self.
