Colchester’s Firstsite is part of Plus Tate’s initiative to encourage visual arts to flourish across the UK. I went to see it whilst they we completing the build six months ago and I returned to interview someone there this week. I took my GF2 (new toy) and did a bit of exploring around the extremities and uncovered some great bits of sub-culture in the surrounding now redundant buildings which will soon be pulled down. So I’ve put a collection of images showing the contrast between the old and the new here.<\/p>\n

This is the Golden Pavilion, Colchester’s Firstsite. I love its form, and the glow it brings to the town landscape. I’ve called it this being inspired by one of Mishima’s novel The Temple of the Golden Pavilion.<\/p>\n

The interior & exterior are interesting and have plenty of opportunities for creative shots<\/p>\n

This building will be demolished soon, I’m glad I captured this shot, the light was perfect. I also like the Vorticist feel of the next shot<\/p>\n

There were plenty of other creative people and unique business in the surrounding derelict buildings giving a great contrast to the Golden Pavilion<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And who said Zebra Crossings had to be black & white<\/p>\n
