In recent
years Dodgy Clutch, as DC Events, has been concentrating increasingly
on developing site-specific events, many of these on a large and
spectacular scale.
Newcastle
City Council commissioned Dodgy Clutch to create a fantastic sculpture
and spectacular event for New Year's Eve 2001.The project was
a collaboration between Dodgy Clutch, Viz Comics and Geoff Laws,
cartoonist and caricaturist.
The final
spectacular featured a 30ft high sculpture of a cartoon bus in
the Haymarket in the early evening of New Years Eve. On board
and bursting out of the open top were the best of Tyneside - the
famous Viz characters emblazoned in costumes to suit arts and
culture. However, the Grim Reaper was at the helm and the whole
thing went up in a spectacular fire and pyrotechnic display.
