Where is the Silwood Sculpture?

New Release from the Archive!

Over the past 4 months, Spectacle has been holding weekly workshops to explore the footage from the Silwood Archive. 

One topic that Silwood residents expressed interest in seeing more information about is the story of a missing sculpture called Neighbourly Encounters. We have edited together some information from the archive about this statue. Please have a look. 

The sculpture was commissioned from the artist Uli Nimptsch for the new GLC Silwood Estate and stood on the estate from 1964 until it disappeared some time in the 1980s or 90s.
