I am not a fan of the Big brother franchise, as its sums up what’s wrong with modern Britain, but may watch some (ok highlights on youtube where they mention the nest) of this final one  as there seems to be a shedlike structure in the garden called “The Nest” for the contestants to disappear to, when they get stressed due to someone calling them an idiot (or whatever they do).

Its a great looking thing anyway – like a big rattan, well nest.

Anyone know who built it?

It reminds me of this shed a bit.

Sometimes a sheddie needs to cut loose and get out on the open road but when he/she gets back home they need somewhere to store their precious wheels, some great examples of Bikers sheds.

Some great shots of the The Other Flower Show at the Victoria and Albert Museum from 2004 have been added to their Flickr Stream.

The Other Flower Show at the V&A in 2004 brought together a group of contemporary artists and designers who were invited to transform a garden shed into a creative and conceptual alternative to the traditional flower show.

There is something quintessentially English about a garden shed. It implies far more than simple garden storage: shelter at a rainy garden party, an enthusiast’s workshop, a place for retreat, or perhaps for something more untoward… Here in the V&A garden, the shed functioned as a blank canvas for the individual artist to decide how to respond to the structure and its inherent implications.

Tracy Emin created an environment constructed from personal possessions that she either made or constructed: drawings, pieces of furniture, patchwork curtains, a lamp, cat pictures, figurines, an appliqué Ouija board. The objects were fresh from the stage of a theatre production of Jean Cocteau’s ‘Les Parents Terribles’, for which Emin designed the set. Re-assembled, in her shed, they were carefully choreographed to symbolise desire, love, jealousy and hate, which have become trademark characteristics of Emin’s work.

I wonder if any museums will be doing stuff from Shed Week 2010 as you know sheds are the cornerstone of this great country and not just for artsake.
