Making A Stand
Comprising 127 seven-metre-high timber fins, this quietly powerful temporary installation entitled ‘Making A Stand’, aims to ‘disrupt’ the popular pedestrian route by creating an awe-inspiring artwork using commercially grown timber ‘borrowed’ from the construction supply chain, which can be repurposed when the work is dismantled at the end of the year.
The Final Bid
The Final Bid questions the ease in which we can purchase new objects whilst perfectly useable objects lie unwanted in people’s homes. Using the Draiflessen Collection as a hub for an ongoing on-lines auction, these objects will be bought and sold, to create constantly evolving meanwhile sculptures. This installation, conflating the commercial with the cultural, will encourage people circulate objects they no longer need, promoting an economy of reuse.
Natural Cycle
As part of our new arts strategy ‘X Marks the Spot’ for King’s Cross we have invited Roadsworth to create a mini-city with streets, pavements and crossings, combining natural elements which can been seen in Camley Street Nature Park.
