Sculptor Antony Gorm­ley was among the thousands who turned up to see the huge art project, where 75 artists used flats, stairwells and communal spaces as blank canvases celebrating 40 years of memories. He described the project as “a joy and a delight”. The 1960s estate is being flattened to mak

2010 Market Estate Project 06-03-2010 20-02-28 Originally uploaded by caledonianpark Arnaud Dechelle, Minako Kurachi, Francois Cassin, Dan Savage Block A Flat 92 I like this because Minako Kurachi interviewed me about my morning routine. I was a bit skeptical about this but Minako has a background as a journalist in Japan and Europe as a correspondent so we had a really good chat about a lot of things on the estate and how things had worked out. The snippets from the conversation were put into a voice loop and replayed in an installation in a flat with a stencil of "a strong, very earthy, deep brown cup of tea" on the wall. I liked this a lot. It is my morning routine and at work I have the same sort of thing with a teapot and making tea from tea leaves, it tastes much better and is much more environmentally friendly I put the leaves onto my plants, after reading them for my lottery numbers (kidding).

Market Estate Project

A Day like no other day Market Estate Project Saturday 6th March 2010 http://www.metra.org.uk/ photos are at  = http://www.flickr.com/photos/caledonianpark/ Market Estate Project - the most amazing day, the best day, a day I will never forget. 75 artists, 66 site-specific projects, 20 vacant flats, and one soon to be demolished 1960's housing estate. The day began before the night before was over and I couldn't sleep, so I took a few photos around 4am. I love the flag. Jonathan Trayner Block B Roof Temporary Autonomous Zone. This flew from the top of Tamworth to mark the Project's presence in the space.

2010 March 6th Market Estate Project 1 -25 Originally uploaded by caledonianpark On behalf of all the residents of Market Estate, a big thank you to everyone who was involved in the Market Estate Project, culminating in the huge event on Saturday the 6th March 2010. The final stage of the decant and the start of the demolition of the last of the old estate was always going to be an Islington event but the whole day exceeded our expectations in every way. It wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Southern Housing Group and Higgins generous sponsorship with contributions from the Arts Council and the Big Lottery Fund. So many people have been involved and inspired to join in as the project has developed. Drawing Rooms was created by builders and Jeff Joseph from Higgins Construction who are the contractors developing the new estate with the architects drawings from HTA. The artists have been amazing: some became residents too, they are part of our community’s history – part o
