Thompson Sets Sights On New York For Art Show
By Celeb Stink: 2008-11-19 13:15:18
Emma Thompson is on a mission to turn New York's Times Square into a mock detention center for a hard-hitting protest about human trafficking.
The British actress and activist staged a similar art installation/protest on behalf of the Helen Bamber Foundation in London's Trafalgar Square last year (Sep08), which featured seven individually designed containers that traced the journey of a woman from her home in Eastern Europe to a bloodstained bed in a London brothel, where she is enslaved. Thompson designed the containers for the stirring Journey show, which was brought to life by artist Anish Kapoor and Michael Howells - and now she wants to bring the containers to New York. Thompson, who is the chairwoman of the Helen Bamber Foundation, tells WENN, "I'm bringing it to New York in April. I'm trying to get a meeting with the Mayor to see if we could get Duffy Park or Times Square. We need a really good venue because we have seven shipping containers that hold these room replications."
