Excited to say that Atlantus Project is taking its transoceanic journey across the Atlantic from Jersey to the East Coast of New Jersey, USA. Many thanks to New Jersey State Archive for all their support in making this happen and New Jersey State Council on the Arts for funding the distribution of copies to 432 libraries statewide. A gallery exhibition of Atlantus will open later in the summer at the New Jersey Department of State building, Trenton New Jersey.
Atlantus outdoor display at JIFC /
Atlantus, our multifunctional newspaper and DIY exhibition has recently been turned into a semi-permanant installation on the hoarding of Jersey’s International Finance Centre on the Esplanade site in the capitol St Helier. This makes for an interesting link to our new long-term project, Masterplan exploring Jersey’s offshore finance industry, corporate culture and governance. Special thanks to Kummer & Herrman, Signtech and Jersey Development Company for design, installation and support. #atlantus
