Art on the Underground



I spent the weekend in London, and every time I traveled by tube, I noticed one of these striking and thought- provoking messages. What are they all about??

Apparently artist, Anna Barriball, has selected a number of evocative phrases taken from the back of found photographs and printed them in London Underground’s classic New Johnston font as six black and white posters.

"The texts are designed to adopt the distinct identity of the network, presenting domestic messages that work in an interesting contrast to the operational environment of the Tube."
