We re running a three day ad hoc production stall called "shred exchange" on Reuters Plaza/Canary Wharf, as part of the London Festival of Architecture 2010.

Local material: shredded paper from some of the large corporations (extremely fine stuff!).

Tool: a handpress on a mobile stall.

To do what: to compress shredded paper and anything else from your pockets into balls.

It s less about function but about fun.

The brand new Abbey Gardens Honesty Stall will accompany us, with a bag full of compost and seeds to compress seed-bombs in exchange.

Fri 25th - Sun 27th July, daily from 11.00 - 17.00.

With Emmett Walsh and Millie Harvey
