Big Art Mob

The sculpture within Grizedale Forest is in the process of being mapped on the Big Art Mob, allowing our audiences to view the work digitally. The Big Art Mob is a project which aims to plot all pieces of public art in the world onto a Google Map Platform. The mapping of the work is done by the general public, as well as by arts organisations who want people to be able to see what is available. It allows for information on the pieces, in our case, in Land Art and Site Specific work, to be made available to all interested. It is especially important to us here at Grizedale as it is a fantastic way to keep our audience updated; the nature of the work here means pieces are decommissioned and added more frequently then our sculpture guides and hand maps can be updated. To have a look at what we have mapped so far, please visit www.bigartmob.com and type in the postcode: LA22 OQJ in the top right search bar. Each red dot indicates a piece of work- have fun exploring and keep checking back as we update it further!
