You know those short descriptions that sit next to pictures in an art gallery? We’ve written them for buildings across Kensington and Chelsea.
From October 1-11, as part of KCAW20, Kensington and Chelsea is our gallery. You’ll find faux art descriptions installed at locations across the borough – from shopping centres, to workplaces, bars and more.
These texts imply that each building – and everyone inside it – is a work of art.
It’s art we walk past every day. It’s art we’re all part of. It’s Proper Art.
