Dwell artwork at the printers

Its taken longer than we thought but the dwell book is now finished and out of our hands for a few days. The artwork rests on the printing press of our publishers Sampson Low Ltd so it's just a waiting game. The final list of artists can be found below and on our designated Artist's page. Thank you to Dean Reddick for his idea and hard work in reaching this milestone.

The Dwell book cover art

From the 1st February keep an eye out for the dwellings on the streets of London. We'll be placing one a day in interesting places throughout the capital. Then posting information about the artists and creators here on the CollectConnect website, facebook page and twitter.

Building the Dwell nets

Dean Reddick builds the Dwellow Submarine

The big build has started in earnest for the Dwell exhibition and book. Last weekend we tested the nets by transforming them from their 2D state into glorious 3 dimensions. We're still waiting for 3 pages to be revised before we can send the book to the printers. We'll then start placing our Dwellings around London and photographing them in their new homes. We hope to start releasing these photos and writing about each artist in early February.
