Boxed In (Until September 15)

  A SOUTHWARK artist is inviting members of the public to help him recreate a living room – made out of cardboard. Artist Rod Kitson is working in the Surrey Quays shopping centre using waste material produced by the surrounding shops to make tables, chairs, cabinets and even a grandfather clock. The project, called ‘Boxed In’, is the second lockdown-themed exhibition he has run in the Art of Isolation pop-up gallery in South East London. Rod is managing the space like a workshop, with visitors able to bring designs of their own to build, be guided in how to make things or simply have a look at what others have created. They can also paint the items or design wallpaper to hang on the walls

All tools and material are provided. It is open to all ages, under 16s must be accompanied and supervised by an adult, and face coverings must be worn at all times with social distancing measures observed. It is free to take part.

Boxed In runs until September 15. Tuesday to Sunday, 11am–5pm; Thursdays, 12 noon–5pm. Closed Mondays. At: The Art of Isolation, Unit 38, Upper Floor, Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, Redriff Road, London, SE16 7LL
