Day 2 of the PTG tour sees A507 posing for the cameras at Pythio, a station where International trains from Greece used to reverse before crossing the border into Turkey on their way to Istanbul. Some conveniently placed container flat wagons provided a useful elevated photographic position, although the sight of 30 or 40 photographers from the tour, balancing precariously whilst avoiding the large gaps, would not have gone down well with 'Health & Safety' in the UK!!
For more than 15 years, Staten Island based artist, Victoria Munro has exhibited her photographic and sculptural works internationally, working between Auckland, New Zealand and the U.S. In the installation called Container Series, Munro focuses intently on color bringing vibrant colors to the Grand Staircase Plaza at Staten Island’s St. George Ferry Terminal.
The aluminum strips, affixed securely to the vertical elevations of the stairs leading up to the Plaza, are meant to mirror the shapes and colors of the shipping containers that pass through the NY waterways. Munro believes color is inextricably linked to structures and materials and her work seeks to highlight this relationship. Container Series broadens this investigation to include an exploration of geometric form and function. The artist goes on to describe that “the context and histories of transporting cargo create shifting meaning in the work, suggesting models of other ways of being, cultural blending, and future possibilities and destinations, which are yet to be discovered.”

A container ship travels along the Kill Van Kull channel between Staten Island, N.Y. and Bayonne, N.J. To accommodate the safe passage of larger ships the Kill Van Kull channel is being deepened by the U.S. Army Corps through dredging.
Since the final third of the 20th century, the Kill Van Kull has provided the principal access for ocean-going container ships to Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, N.J. the busiest port facility in the eastern United States, and Howland Hook Marine Terminal, Staten Island, N.Y.

The spread of technology in Africa proceeds apace. Since infrastructure hasn't spread widely, we are in the realm of aggregation and communal arrangements. We believe in cafes. As Burning Spear would have it: "Social Living is the best".
