Saint John - On the move // San Juan se va de viaje

On the 12th August St. John was finally moved from his location in London, to be stored by art removal firm Maxtrans in their base in the west of London. The City and Guilds college of course need the space for their new intake of students who will be arriving shortly. The move went well, again with the kind permission of BT to use their office site next to the C&G location.

The next step in St John's journey will be his move to Spain in January 2010, for his installation at Los Olivos.




San Juan de la Cruz fue trasladado de su residencia en el centro de Londres a un hogar temporal, al oeste de la ciudad, por una empresa de transporte de obras de arte. La Escuela de Bellas Artes donde fue creado necesita el espacio para los nuevos estudiantes que se incorporarán en septiembre.

El siguiente paso será su traslado a España en enero del 2010, para instalarse definitivamente en Hacienda Los Olivos.
