Announcing the Mobile Brownfield Site!
Plans for an exciting new Pestival art piece by Bob and Roberta Smith are underway. The ‘Mobile Brownfield’ site will be a travelling wildlife garden designed to be a home for insects. The idea for the piece was spurred by recent news stories about the decline of starlings in English gardens caused by a lack if insects, and by the worrying trend to designate our gardens as ‘brownfield’ sites for developers.
For Pestival Bob and Roberta Smith will create art works which are both visually exciting for humans and habitats for insects… or even habitats for humans and visually exciting for insects. These works will then be transported from Leytonstone to the Southbank.
More details on this piece will be posted in the Programme closer to the event.
