Alex Chinneck’s new ‘rippling building’ for Clerkenwell Design Week revisits the bending brickwork and sculptural language of the artist’s ‘sliding house’ in Margate.
Located within Charterhouse Square, and modelled on the Georgian architecture that surrounds it, this immersive sculpture playfully reconfigures a four-storey brick façade. The installation follows the artist’s 37-metre inverted electricity pylon for London Design Festival and his unzipping building for Milan Design Week.
Made with 320 metres of repurposed steel and bespoke bending windows, doors and bricks, the work has been created in collaboration with companies across British industry including Chiltern GRC, Cleveland Steel, Crittall Windows, FabSpeed, and Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC.
