Southsea Deck Your Chairs

Senior Lecturer Claire Sambrook from Portsmouth University has organised ‘Southsea Deck Your Chairs‘. A traveling art exhibition made up of 25 customized deckchairs, all designed by current students, alumni and local artists/designers linking the Deckchair with the Seafront. One of which i was lucky enough to be given the chance to work on. Take a sneak peak of the develpoment.

During the end of August for a month the deckchairs will tour around the city of Portsmouth in prominent places such as Southsea Castle, Commercial Road, Gunwharf Quays, Aspex Gallery, City roundabouts, Port Solent, Fratton, Eastney, Albert Road, the Seafront, Portsmouth Football Club, Portsdown Hill, Piers, Southsea Skatepark and will be displayed in Empty shop fronts, on walls, monuments and on the beach.

The first 4 are hot off the press and you can follow developments from the rest in the Deck Your Chairs Flickr Pool.

Claire also hopes to have a brochure designed featuring all the deckchairs around the city and an interview with each artist/designer. If there is anyone out there that is interested in sponsoring this brochure then please get in touch .

If you have any suggestions for a venue or would like more information, or think you can help then please get in contact with Claire at claire.sambrook@port.ac.uk or via Flickr.

All of the deckchairs will be on show at Southsea Fest on Albert Road on September 19th and then available to buy at Love Albert Road Day on September 27th 2009. Don’t miss out on a chance to own one of these exclusive deckchairs as only one of each will be produced. Price £79.99.
