Word has reached me (ooh, doesn't that sound investigative...) of a big participatory art project that's starting on March 1st. Name In Lights will result in one person's name being illuminated on the side of a Birmingham building in very large letters. The person will, apparently, be decided by a public vote and will run as part of this year's Fierce Festival. The artist behind it is one Joshua Sofaer.
More news as it develops but this strikes me as being, well, let's be charitable and say somewhat similar to B:iNS's Brummie of the Year award, famously won in 2005 by a red panda. Jon, I think this needs hijacking, don't you?
