Portobello ReCollection

Wall art sleeves by Natasha Mason and Teresa Crawley.

'Portobello ReCollection' is the fourth commission of the Portobello Road Arts Project. This artwork transforms the 100-metre long wall at the northern end of Portobello Road into W11's own private record collection - a giant shelf of records representing the defining songs of Notting Hill, as identified through collaboration with DJs, musicians, record labels, stall holders and local historians.

Creating an explosion of colour and type design, this celebration of the rich musical heritage of Notting Hill emphasises the connection between the place, its people and its music.

OurPlace | InDepth

InDepth album: “Higher value? when hiphop becomes more restricted”.
256 Sleeves attached to a wall and decorating them afterwards with spray, stickers and handwriting.

''This is a project we started by the end of 2010. Because of our love for limited vinyl, with little distribution, less press attention, and limited cash, there was no other option to release some of our new album songs on vinyl again. With this release we decided to indulge our love for handmade packaging and do something special. Limited to a shortrun of 256 copies, we got us some post-consumer recycled blank cardboard vinyl jackets and have em all decorated by illustrative designer / graffiti artists Eelco van den Berg and a bunch of kids that N works with. Spraypainting and magic markering 256 pieces like a huge recordcover (25m2 = 269.09776 square feet) attached to a wall and decorating them afterwards with stickers and handwriting. (They’re all hand numbered).'' OurPlace

Robin Rhode

Robin Rhode (b. Cape Town, 1976) is a South African artist based in Berlin, Germany.

Working predominantly with everyday material like charcoal, chalk and paint, Rhode started out creating performances that are based on his own drawings of objects that he interacts with. He expanded and refined this practice into creating photography sequences and digital animations. These works are characterized by an interdisciplinary approach that brings aspects of performance, happening, drawing, film and photography together.

Rhode often returns to his native South Africa, creating work in the streets of Johannesburg and continuously registering the traces of poverty and social inequality. An outstanding characteristic of his works is his addressing of social concerns in a playful and productive manner, incorporating these issues into his practice without simplifying or judging them.
