Alfies Big Art Moblog

Hi, my name's Alfie. Addicted moblogger it must be said. I live in London so the majority of my posts are from walks that we do, or wonderful things I see when ambling about here or there. For me, moblogging has made me far more keenly aware of what's around me, and the Big Art Mob has focussed that awareness on public art, which there isn't enough of.

The Newspaper House

Just around the corner from me in Dalston, a strange and wonderful piece
of public art is beginning to take shape. Using only newspaper,
collected by teams and donated by residents, Sumer Erek is creating the
house you see here in part. He only has a few days left to complete this
mammoth task, with the unveiling taking place on the 8th March.

Sumer needs 50,000 newspapers to complete the project and is desperate
for everyone support - just drop in with all your newspapers currently
languishing in your recycling bins! More pics and hopefully some video
will follow on the 8th March.
