On July 15, Radical Nature opens a major off-site commission The Dalston Mill off Kingsland Road in East London. A recreation of Agnes Denes' 1982 work Wheatfield - a confrontation it exists as what Denes described as a "call attention to our misplaced values".

Extending the reach of the work, Paris-based architectural collective EXYZT, who built a Lido in Southwark last summer, are creating a public space alongside the 20-metre long wheatfield. At its centre is a 16-metre high mill that will grind the wheat, together with a bread oven where the collective will work with the local community to bake different breads from the resulting flour.

As  EXYST's Nicolas Henninger explains in the video below, EXYST's Nicolas Henninger, chose the location for its dynamic mix, hoping that the central communal activity of bread-making will act as a way of community coming together to learn about each others' skills, passions and traditions.

The Dalston Mill will be open to the public from 15 July; the entrance is through the fence immediately to the west of the Peace Mural on the northern side of Dalston Lane, near the junction with Kingsland Road.
