Clapham Common Tube station now has pictures of cats instead of ads!
We seriously couldn’t love this anymore! After raising £23,000 ($30,526) on Kickstarter the Citizens Advertising Takeover Service (C.A.T.S) have achieved their goal of replacing every single advert in a London tube station with pictures of cats!

Her recent archive of iconic ‘Stardust’ motels from across Australia and the Americas present tandem versions – both as they were ‘then’, and now revamped. The artist constructs fragile cardboard architectural models, which she documents as video and photographs to express and access a psychological sensibility beyond the physical façades presented. The artifice is intensified as in a game of Chinese whispers where the original gets lost in the re-imagining imbuing her photographs with a nostalgic, cinematic reverie.
