Here is a novel form of street art. See and Collect features items from the current Argos catalogue, transformed into collages, each of them displayed in the window of the popular High Street store at Peckham in south east London UK.
On Saturday the art work by Daniel Lehan, Miranda Peake and Michelle Masters will be made available to the public who can choose a collaged item to keep for free (www.consumepeckham.com/home).
Later the same evening, Lehan is leading a Grand Parade of Sandwich Boards on Camberwell Green, nearby, as part of BonkersFest (www.bonkersfest.co.uk). The sandwich boards will have been made during the afternoon in a series of workshops at BonkersFest, facilitated by The South London Art Gallery and Creative Routes.
