Art installation in Sylvester Road

[Friernlocal]

Last Wednesday morning whilst walking to work at 7:00am I spotted this very amusing art installation. By the time I came home it had gone. Thank heavens for mobile phone cameras!

Brilliant....

I wondered where my sitting room had gone.

Friernlocal,

I saw it around midday on Wednesday and took some photos which I've sent off to a Street Art website in New York. They have'nt used it so far; maybe it's not as amazing as some of the stuff that they carry from all around the world.

Well worth having a regular look at the site if you're interested; www.woostercollective.com

Cheers.

Excellent, thanks for the photo friernlocal.

Ha! I saw it too as it's opposite my house. I thought it was someone chucking out their junk and admired the way they had creatively arranged it. Oh, and I helped myself to some kids books too, which I assume was ok as there was a couple of guys and a rubbish collection truck hovering to take it away.

Have often wondered if we could collectively organise one day a year where people can put out good quality unwanted items for others to reuse.

What a great idea, would prefer once a month though as would be fun..

Look forward to that. I have a friend with a love of discarded furniture, from an artistic view point so there will be rich pickings! I've already snapped a few around ED, and have passed on Frienlocal's pic (hope you don't mind - I've not claimed the credit!)

Will also make sure, if this goes ahead, that I'm not moving house on that day....

I completely agree to putting out collectively at designated places and dates. Once a month is good. Nothing should be in skips that might be of interest to someone: Doors stacked to the side and so forth.

In Some streets in Greenwich there is a system working where people can leave read books or

little things they dont want so anyone can take them,and they put a little label on saying free recycle me,

Something like this was going on in E.D a few years ago.
