Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how many novels have been inspired by travelling on the Tube? How many mysteries and dangerous liaisons have been conjured as travellers jog along from Cockfosters to Knightsbridge? How many fictional romances have blossomed or terminated at Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 and 3? Piccadillyland is the title of artists Emma Rushton and Derek Tyman’s first bookwork produced in the form of a contemporary fiction novel, commissioned by Art on the Underground. In bringing together extracts from novels originating from a wide range of periods, written by both well and lesser-known authors, Rushton and Derek have created a compilation of quotations which refer in some way to the Piccadilly line and its stations. The books from which the quotations originate will also be at the three stations, so customers can enjoy novels by the authors who have kindly leant their material to the project. The aim of Piccadillyland was to commission an imaginative artwork that explores the Piccadilly line in a new way. The publication is part of a wider project Thin Cities – 100 Years of the Piccadilly line, this time focusing on the three ends of the line. Artists Emma Rushton and Derek Tyman were invited by Art on the Underground to create new work based on the Piccadilly line. The artists’ research led them to making this book. Between the covers of this publication is a unique picture of London Underground’s second longest line, a new approach to this historic transport route. This project is another example of Art on the Underground’s unique commissioning programme, exploring the heritage of a significant London Underground line and encouraging the customer to engage with their journey in a new way. Emma Rushton and Derek Tyman are artists based in Manchester, England. They have worked together collaboratively since 1997. Recent projects have been realised in Hong Kong, China, Breda and Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands and London, England.
