Mene Mene – the Bible in public

This looks like quite interesting: Mene Mene is an art project currently on display in Leeds.

“A series of texts are abstracted from their original Biblical context and filtered throughout the city in a variety of formats. From high-profile banners and adverts on bus shelters to more intimate sayings on bench plaques and shop windows, the texts are affirming, instructive, predictive and challenging.”

The various contributions ‘Foreward’, ‘Essay’ etc are well worth reading. (Just be aware that ‘Press release’ and ‘Catalogue’ are pdf documents, if like me you are using Firefox which really can’t cope with them at all).

    hey thanks for posting about this dave and bringing it to our attention…
    we went on a bank holiday monady trip into the city centre to try and find all of the sites in this project – it’s brilliant: amusing and thought provoking and poignant too in places [plus we found a little bit of leeds that we'd not come across before - park square - lovely.]
