EVOL Concrete Blocks Smithfield
A series of concrete blocks spray painted to look like a housing estate by artist EVOL. Located on West Poultry Avenue, Smithfield, London.
Date: 2011
The blocks (many more than shown in this model) have been here for nearly 8 years and are now very faded. Originally they were used to protect the Crossrail work site. They are now in the area of the development of the new Museum of London. The workers here say they would now be considered illegal as they are not fixed down and have no lifting points. They could weigh as much as a tonne and would be very hard to move. It is not clear who owns the blocks. Possibly the Corporation of London?
