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.”

Going too fast round a roundabout is never a good idea, but loaded with a container its asking for trouble. Containers can be loaded with anything, the contents can be uneven in weight meaning the centre of gravity can be relatively high.

Overcrowded jails and prisons are a growing issue in the US and also globally. This demand can now be filled instantly with modular jail and prison cells made from recycled ISBU shipping containers.
One of the companies leading this technology is DRC Logistics in Mobile, Alabama. We were first made aware of this company when their DRC Group corporate office contacted the ISBU Association in April of 2009 for data regarding ISBU specifications, diagrams and governmental approval information.
By June of this year the DRC Group had created a new division named “Jails On Demand” which produces modular jail cells and prison facilities constructed from secure recycled shipping containers. Their modular ISBU jail cells and prison facilities are manufactured in full compliance with the American Correctional Association (ACA) standards and are ready for immediate delivery and installation.
The DRC Group has a very credible 30 year history and experience with much expertise in various construction and manufacturing technologies to assist them as they market the “instant jail” concept. Correctional facilities using ISBU container technology is not new, however DRC has the experience and financial resources to become a global leader of this trend.
Valor is a Spanish Chocolate company that has its origins 1881. This site is their main production facility in Villajoyosa, near Alicante, Spain.
On the same site they offer Museum / Factory tour... the walk from the entrance gate to the Museum building involves passing the factory goods in - we are escorted by the tour leader.
Here we are walking past a truck that has just completed discharging its load of Sugar (note the outlet marked 'Azucar' on the wall).
Earlier, in a moment of brief moment of chaos, we had to walk very close the discharging container (at the time it was at 45 degrees lifted by the tilting trailer) while another articulated truck was reversing out of a bay. This isn't a artificial experience like Cadbury World in Birmingham!
There are no more photos of this tour as there was a strict No Photography rule when entering the production facility. I really had to resist I can tell you...

So I bought a point-and-shoot about two years ago so that I would always have a camera on me, because there were many times I didn't have one with me and I missed photographing something cool. Long story short in the two years I've had the camera I've shot thousands of images but it recently hit me that I rarely do anything with them. So this is my current mini-project, going back through and digging up some stuff that never saw the light of day.
26x16x6 inches and 34 quart capacity, this is Container #1. What the hell is the purpose you ask? The idea that started in my head had a single focus but in today’s world where the price of food may soon go thru the friggin roof, thanks to Obama’s Gestapo Regime, it now has become a two-fold purpose. But that’s another story for another time.
The goat is to build up a food supply for six months that when augmented with fresh fish, crabs and oysters I would have to come to port for only fuel, water or to pump out the holding tanks. This is the first of a planned 10 containers of dry goods. I have placed a few can good items in this one, but the rest of the containers will only hold dry goods.
I have no immediate plans for a trip, but my plans do put me headed to Key West by this time next year. So to ease the pain of supplying the boat right at the last moment when money may be tight and probably will be, I want to pack one of these a month.
Each one will vary in contents and strategically planned so that I don’t have to open them all at once. Each one of them will be labeled with the contents and indexed in a master file for ease of locating specific items. At this time next year I estimate the cost to have built this food stock to be appx. $800-1000. These containers are in addition to the canned meat and veggies that I also will be stocking, as they don’t need to be stored dry.
Inside of each container is a can of moisture control and each container is sealed close to airtight.
I would like to be able to sail to the Caribbean Islands and not have to ever tie to the dock if I so choose. Or at least have the ability to do so for six months. That is the ultimate goal.
Just on a side note…so as it doesn’t come as a big surprise to anyone. Everyone should have food stores. The possibility of needing them in the near future is very real.
So don’t say I didn’t tell you so. J
