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?

本数据集收录艺术家EVOL创作的系列街头艺术作品：将混凝土块喷涂出住宅区外观，该装置坐落于伦敦史密斯菲尔德的西家禽大道（West Poultry Avenue），创作于2011年。
这批混凝土块的实际数量远超本次模型展示的规模，已在此放置近8年，如今已大幅褪色。其最初被用于保护伦敦横贯铁路（Crossrail）的施工场地，目前位于新伦敦博物馆（Museum of London）的开发区域内。现场工作人员表示，由于未做固定处理且未设置吊装点，这批块体如今会被认定为违规设施。单块块体重量可达一吨，移动难度极高。目前暂无法确认这批块体的所有者，推测可能为伦敦金融城公司（Corporation of London）所有。
