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 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.
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.
The exhibition focuses on air as an artistic material and as a carrier of forms and ideas in the visual arts.
With works by Judy Chicago, Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Piero Manzoni, Yoko Ono, Otto Piene, Michael Pinsky, Ulay/Marina Abramović & Andy Warhol

Material Futures students present a series of talks inhabiting the intersection of craft, biology and technology. Over the course of three evenings we will bring together international thought-leading academics, designers and scientists who challenge the future of design, to explore possible futures through the lens of materiality – in its broader sense.
