BT ArtBox project celebrating 25 years of Childline
ArtBox Title: City of Birds
Artist: Pete Bishop
Location: Achilles Way, off Park Lane
Open-air art exhibition across London - Summer 2012
ā¢ BT marked 25th anniversary of ChildLine with launch of open-air art exhibition in London
ā¢ BT ArtBox project saw leading artists, designers and creatives transform full-size replicas of iconic Gilbert Scottādesigned red telephone box into stunning artworks
ā¢ Throughout June and July 2012, BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations across the capital
ā¢ The National Portrait Gallery hosted a gala auction on July 18 where the ArtBoxes were auctioned to raise money for ChildLine
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ChildLine, BT announced the launch of the BT ArtBox project ā a new public art exhibition set to take over the capital Summer 2012.
Leading artists, designers and creatives from around the world were invited to apply their individual talents to re-style that much-loved icon of British design, the traditional red telephone box.
Each artist or designer took delivery of a full-size, fibre-glass replica of the Sir Giles Gilbert Scott-designed original K6 telephone kiosk, which was introduced in 1936 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
Participating artists included 2002 Turner prize winner Keith Tyson, Romero Britto and Royal Academician Professor of Sculpture David Mach, along with fashion designers Giles Deacon and Zandra Rhodes.
The BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations around the capital between June 18 and July 16 before being auctioned off at a VIP Gala Auction at the National Portrait Gallery on July 18 to raise funds for BTās long-time partner ChildLine.
Esther Rantzen OBE, founder of ChildLine and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: āIām thrilled that ChildLineās 25th birthday is to be celebrated by such a unique and inspiring project as BT Artbox.
āThe red phone box is a much loved symbol of British culture and Iām keen to see how the artists involved will create new masterpieces from such an iconic canvas. Itās fantastic that the proceeds from the sale of the boxes will raise vital funds to support the work of ChildLine, enabling us to help many more children and young people to get comfort, advice and protection when they need it most.ā
Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: āThe Gilbert Scott telephone box is a truly iconic British design, and Iām looking forwards to seeing how artists and designers transform the replica boxes into works of art on Londonās streets.ā
David Mach, said: āItās great to be involved with the ArtBox Exhibition. I get to kill more than two birds with one stone...work with a great charity (hopefully make money for it) and a classic British design. I love all things Gilbert Scott. Anything that encourages us to get his design back on our streets does it for meā.
Suzi Williams, director of BT Group Marketing and Brand, said: āBT has a history of supporting British cultural initiatives and 2012 is no exception. What better way to celebrate ChildLine's 25th anniversary than transforming replicas of the classic red phone box into a public art exhibition that can be enjoyed by all in the build-up to the Games this summer."
Martine Ainsworth-Wells, London & Partners, Marketing and Communications director, said:
āLondon & Partners is excited to support BT ArtBox in the run up to London 2012. BT ArtBox will bring some of the UKās finest artistic talents to Londonās streets, adding a new creative dimension to the capital at such an important time in its history.ā
Artists and creatives who were interested in designing an ArtBox visited btartbox.com for more information about how to get involved.
The BT ArtBox project was supported by the Mayor of London, Professor Malcolm Garrett RDI, London & Partners, The May Fair Hotel, Harvey Nichols, The Times and The Sunday Times and borough councils across the capital.

Top 10 facts about the K6 red phone box
1. Kiosk number 6 or āJubilee Kioskā commemorates the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.
2. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott also designed Liverpoolās Anglican Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and Bankside Power Station now Tate Modern.
3. More than 1,600 decommissioned red phone boxes, mostly K6s, have been sold to local communities for just a Ā£1 under BTās Adopt a Kiosk scheme. Uses include being fitted with lifesaving defibrillation machines, turned into art galleries and public libraries.
4. The K6 was the first kiosk installed nationwide and the standard kiosk across the UK until the introduction of the K8 in 1968.
5. The K6 kiosk is made from cast iron with a teak door. It is 8ā3ā tall (2.4 metres) and weighs three quarters of a ton (762 kilograms).
6. The K6 design was approved by the Post Office and the Royal Fine Arts Commission, which endorsed āPost Office redā as the standard colour.
7. Although Scott agreed to the use of āPost Office redā he was never a supporter of the colour and initially suggested the outside of the kiosk be painted silver and the inside greenish-blue. He strongly urged rural kiosks be painted dove-grey.
8. Two K6 kiosks were installed in France during 1995, for the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
9. Several red K6ās have been transformed into combined payphones and cash machines.
10.There are 11,000 red phone boxes in use in the UK.

Coral reefs are formed from calcium carbonate secreted by tiny animals called polyps. These colonies of polyps and the reefs they create are among Earth's most diverse ecosystems, providing shelter for a wide variety of fish, mollusks, sponges, and other sea creatures. They are important for tourism and the fishing industry. Corals are highly sensitive to both warming ocean temperatures and ocean acidification brought about by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide. NCAR scientists are studying the effects of warming and acidification on reefs and the marine populations they support.
