The abundance of housing estates that shot up around London from the late 50s through to the early 70s were often perceived as either a comforting environment in which communities would prosper or, rather more cynically, as grotty quick fix schemes to cheaply house an expanding population. The Market Estate, situated next to Caledonian Road station, is one such complex, and has recently been condemned for demolition. Before the bulldozers move in, a group of artists have been granted the use of the space to do with as they wish. The Market Estate Project acts as an enormous canvas with almost limitless potential for the 76 artists to create unique and fascinating works. (via Dazed Digital | The Market Estate Project )
