Japanese photographer and architect Hiroshi Sugimoto interviewed by The Japan Times regarding the album cover for the new U2 album “No Line on the Horizon“.

I was planning to buy the album as an mp3 download, but perhaps an “old fashioned CD” with some worthwhile artwork would be fun after all.

Letters to The Editor, The Age:

No problems with atheists after all

CATHERINE Deveny (Metropolis, 23/2) seems to have formed a view of APN Outdoor based on incorrect information. APN Outdoor has run ads for a diverse range of religious organisations. We always have and will continue to work with religious and non-religious groups.

When the Atheist Foundation came to us in November, we welcomed its business. APN Outdoor recommended a range of roadside advertising sites. However, the AFA specifically wanted bus panels.

Bus, or “transit”, advertising sites are public property, owned by state bus authorities. These are regulated differently from private property. One regulation is that any advertisement, religious or otherwise, that may offend the community or represent an individual point of view is not permitted.

Deveny was right on the toing and froing. We went backwards and forwards trying to help the AFA find a creative line that would meet its needs and still fall within the regulations. We also presented the foundation with equally impactful outdoor advertising options on which it could advertise without changing its ads at all. For starters, there are 2200 premium roadside billboards in Australia that can be used for maximum impact. We were happy to work with the foundation then and we’re still happy to work with it now.
