Dwellings instead of prefab WWII Bungalows

Churchill build them as temporary bungalows after the bombing of London. The last community, The Excalibur Estate, has been replaced. The land is worth millions of pounds now. And instead of 186 prefabs, they have put 400 'dwellings'. We need to go forward instead of lingering in the past, but on the other hand, it's part of history.

London In 1927

"Incredible colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William - a noted cinematographer - was experimenting with. It's like a beautifully dusty old postcard you'd find in a junk store, but moving.

Music by Jonquil and Yann Tiersen."

IOCOSE 'Sunflower Seeds on Sunflower Seeds'

"IOCOSE exhibits a new artwork at Tate Modern, made from a previous artwork at Tate Modern.

The artist group has thrown several real sunflower seeds on Ai Weiwei's porcelain 'Sunflower Seeds'. The porcelain seeds, previously exhibited at the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern, are now part of a new artwork by IOCOSE.

The new artwork looks exactly the same as the previous one, as the natural seeds and those made of porcelain are indistinguishable from each other. IOCOSE reclaims the authorship of the new installation and reminds viewers of Ai Weiwei’s previous statement: 'what you see is not what you see, and what you see is not what it means'.

The artwork will be on exhibition from the 29th of January 2011 until the 2nd of May 2011."
