No Ball Games

As part of Open House London, together with British artist FXXX BXXXXX, we proposed an intervention in the Argentine Ambassador’s Residence, central to both Argentinian and British identities. Bringing a typically outdoor activity into a fragile indoor space, our proposal consisted of the installation of an especially designed football pitch in the ballroom. We understood the football pitch as a social space for interaction and participation. The room became a space, in which visitors to the house met in a spirit of celebration.
