Londonderry toasts the City of Culture 2013 with a little help from a caravan!

We suspect that more than a few of the past customers of our caravans for sale West Yorkshire will have taken their new purchase to various parts of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and why not? After all, this part of the world offers no shortage of wonderful caravan parks and attractions. However, art lovers among our customers here at Albion Caravans (http://www.albioncaravans.co.uk) have been given one more great reason to go, in the form of a fascinating art installation.

Here at Albion Caravans, we're massive fans of Elddis caravans. The brand has a history dating back to 1964, and in all of that time, it's been at the forefront of so many great caravan design innovations - including its development of the industry-leading SoLiD structural bonding system. However, none of our present caravans for sale in West Yorkshire look quite like what the Japanese artist and Londonderry resident Shiro Masuyama has created as part of the 2013 City of Culture programme.

2013 sees the visit of the Turner Prize Exhibition to Londonderry, but even visitors to the show of the often controversial art prize probably weren't expecting to be greeted by an Elddis caravan with its interior converted into two parts - one half British, and the other Irish in character. The installation features the symmetrical display of many distinctly British and Irish items, with a hybrid of British and Irish objects in a third section.

Called the Borderline Project, we imagine that amid all of this installation's Victorian paraphernalia, vintage crockery and more modern Gaelic wall plaques bidding a warm welcome, some visitors might just get a sense of the spaciousness and homeliness of these caravans! It's something that we certainly emphasise to the customers of our used touring caravans West Yorkshire. If you're in the Londonderry area at any point soon, you'll be pleased to hear that following its initial dates of Wednesday 23rd to Friday 25th October, the installation will be back at the Ebrington venue every Saturday and Sunday from Saturday 26th October until Sunday 15th December, as well as on Monday 2nd December.

What will it be doing over the next few months when it isn't at Ebrington? Why, it'll be doing what cheap used caravans do, of course... travelling, namely around various border locations. As Shiro himself explained: "When the caravan is placed on some borderline points between Derry-Londonderry (Northern Ireland) and Donegal (Republic of Ireland) I hope to develop the project by talking to people on both sides of the border and adding objects and or correcting the display to the right direction."

Alas, those goodies don't come as standard with an Elddis caravan. But they might just give you some ideas for what you could put in your own, when you next buy from our extensive selection of second hand caravans West Yorkshire right here at Albion Caravans (http://www.albioncaravans.co.uk)!
