Best known for bending, melting and unzipping buildings from Margate to Milan, artist Alex Chinneck's mural for Ashford is a world first. Chinneck's 10 metre high laces, on the former Odeon cinema building, create the illusion of fluidity in a typically inflexible material, as they appear to unlace the vast brick wall. The sculptor has a long association with Kent, having previously unzipped Kent Woll Growers building in Ashford, tied post boxes in knots and slid the facade off a four-storey house in Margate. This is the artist's first 2D public artwork.
Location: Back of former Odeon Cinema, St Johns Lane TN23 1PS
