Exhibition Information
PEEP BOX was presented as part of ArtCity 2003
Sponsored by Stride Gallery
Peep Show is an international pavilion design competition aimed at creating an innovative street presence for visual art during the Artcity festival. Each year, Peep Show calls for proposals for the design of a mobile space that can be constructed within the public realm. The pavilions are meant to demonstrate the function of the chosen public space, and must use a real artist's work as the focus.
In 2002, the entry titled PEEP BOX by Portuguese designers Patrícia Miguel & João Fôja, was selected as the winner and will be constructed as part of this year's festivities. The pavilion, uniquely structured to evoke human interaction, takes an everyday public bench and turns it into a front row seat to a private viewing of the engaging work of artist Steven Nunoda. The PEEP BOX, which comes fully equipped with a place to sit, can be experienced 24 hours a day for the duration of the festival.
Peep Show Pavilion Design Competition 2003 winners will be announced during the festival on September 16. This year's jury members include architect John Paktau; curator, artist and administrator, Diana Sherlock; and artist Arlene Stamp.
