A Rippling Townhouse Facade by Alex Chinneck Takes a Seat in a London Square
Briefly

British artist Alex Chinneck showcases his latest sculpture "A week at the knees" at London’s Clerkenwell Design Week, which whimsically anthropomorphizes a Georgian facade. Standing five meters tall and constructed from 320 meters of repurposed steel and 7,000 bricks, the sculpture appears delicate despite its heft, inviting viewers to see urban infrastructure in a playful light. This work, echoing his previously renowned installation in Margate, serves as a unique portal into the history and character of its landscape, encouraging interaction with its artistic charm.
