Event Reports Beck's Green Box ProjectBeck's, the beer brand with a long history of supporting the arts, has announced the Green Box Project. This begins with a series of 30 augmented-reality 'installations' across three countries by artists, designers, musicians and other creatives -- and then the project is opened up to anyone to pitch for part of a commissioning fund (of an unspecified amount). The project is curated by photographer Nick Knight and musician Sam Spiegel. In London, you'll see artworks from July 18 from the 'operatic house' act Austra (who are also playing at Cargo on Thursday), Glaswegian record label and art collective Lucky Me from July 25, and the psychedelic art rock band Warpaint from August 29. In Manchester, you can find an AR installation by artist Petra Storrs. Around the world, you'll also find installations by interactive design wizards UVA (Miami), jelly sculptors Bompas and Parr (New York City), and fashion designer Hussein Chalayan (Milan).
