This is the most obvious wall which leads to the workshops from the triangle space. It would be beautiful however the wall is too low, not much can be done.
These two walls are behind the triangle space. These walls fit a much more desired scale and there is enough space to record the paintings. however the problems with these are that a) they lead to and are within the garden(right now there is a No Entry sign up) so this maybe area that the college may not want to be trampled all over. And b) its position is hidden from the triangle space so can easily be missed.
NOW this particular wall(the white one alongside the wall behind the arches) made me dribble!! i close my eyes and saw scenes of beautiful letters curving and bendin around such smooth surfaces..caressing the architecture, letterforms gliding from behind the pillars to the huge open space like doves!! the only problem i have with this wall is that people may get in the way of the recording(the college may have other concerns).
These have been the only walls i've seen that would somehow fit the requirements needed for space. Im not too sure where to go from here... another solution would be to put boards up for the following 14 weeks. Places I have considered to be reaonable places have been along the recycling bins, along the wall infront of the beautiful bright white 'un, or the greatest,
most satisfying ppostion along the actual triangle space( dribble some more)!!
The only problem I have with resorting to boards it that it may make the project feel temporary. The whole idea of a wall of fame is that it is permanent and indelible, boards can be taken away.
Talking to a few writers about my project a few responses have been "IM THERE..", "OHHHH HELL YEAH", and "IM SALIVATING"

The white wall is begging to be sprayed!! I think you should push for that one since the location is perfect. Being a place where everyone passes by, it'll give the Chelsea campus such a 'buzz' when your project is underway. Which other art uni is so cool you see people graffing the walls in broad daylight?
could you build you own wall? giving graffiti a permeanant presence at chelsea?
it would look staged, but not temporary...

Try and get that white wall behind the arches, it would be perfect

Hey Jerrome, saw a couple of what looked like foundation students spraying on a wall at college today, round the back of the bike racks. Say the word and i'll duff 'em up for you!
