Nathan Coley - To the Bramley Family of Frestonia

More about the book

Focusing on housing and community, this publication captures Nathan Coley's public art project in London, reflecting on the historical context of the Freston Road area. It recounts the displacement of local tenants in the 1960s and the subsequent squatting movement in derelict homes. Coley's artwork, inspired by the Bramley apple, includes a striking rooftop sculpture and 112 smaller versions gifted to residents. The book features diverse texts and archival photographs, connecting contemporary issues of housing with the area's rich history and broader societal themes.
