Newspaper House

Later this month, a hundred  volunteers will be off gathering newspapers from public places across London so that artist, Sumer Erek can build a 'house' from the collected broadsheets and tabloids.

The reason for this is project, organised by Creative City is to raise awareness to the amount of paper that is strewn and disgarded around our cities on a daily basis. I read that approximately nine and half tonnes of freebie papers were collected off the tubes every day.

Once all the papers have been gathered they will be rolled into tubes, and fixed together to form the newspaper house. The installation will be held at Gillet Square, Hackney from the 3rd - 9th March.
