he sculptures, entitled ‘Alphabetti Spaghetti’ appeared overnight in London, Margate and Sheffield. They resemble traditional red metal pillar post boxes which have been tied in knots.

The work continues Chinneck’s reputation for creating playful public artworks that transform the everyday into the extraordinary. In this new series of sculptures, which were all installed in one night, the artist turns these familiar every day functional items into works of art.

Red pillar post boxes are a cultural icon in the UK and there are over 115,500 across the country as a whole. A Royal Mail post box stands within half a mile of over 98% of the population and their design and colour help create a quintessentially British landscape. No variation to their design is allowed, except in very exceptional circumstances.
