How it's done

This is going on local to me in Hackney and thought I'd spread the word!
I think it's a really interesting way of getting yourself involved in art, the community AND recycling all those old newspapers!

So come along!


The Newspaper House is a public art installation making use of YOUR (the public's) newspapers and erected in Dalston's Gillett Square (Hackney) from March 3 to 9th, 2008.

Sumer Erek, installation artist, will be building an art-house in just one week. Members of the public are invited to bring newspapers to the Square to add to grow the installation. Visitors will also be invited to insert their own news into the newspaper, before rolling it.


This is the first art in the public realm proposal to be introduced to Gillett Square and an ambitious public art piece by Creative City.
