Sweet Bus Art Installation

The artwork which is named after the legendary line from the movie is by artist Richard Wilson who had his eye on the building for the installation for quite a while. Attracted to the De La Warr Pavillion by its edges he wanted to create an installation as a metaphor for the limits of everything. In the run up to the Olympics it can also be seen as a metaphor for flag waving – the red, white and blue of the van nicely echoes the colors of the Union Jack flag. At least eight tonnes of steel girders are in place to ensure that the installation teeters but does not fall.” w/ photos
