This is a flag outside of CCS, made by Rachel Harrison, for her current exhibition ‘Consider the Lobster’ at the CCS Galleries.  The first flag on the flag pole was made by Frank Benson, and later another, by Peter Coffin, was bought by Tom Eccles.  It was on the suggestion of Marcia Acita that Rachel Harrison was asked to create her own flag emblem for her show, though it is not considered a true work of art.  When Harrison’s show is over, either the Benson or Coffin flag will be hung.
