aerialgreenman.jpgSummertime is the perfect opportunity to visit Graeme Miller’s permanent sound installation, Linked, which celebrates its fifth anniversary this year. Receiver packs are available from:
Artsadmin, Local libraries including Leyton, Leytonstone, Vestry House Museum, Museum of London. Full list of pickup points here. A detailed map and information sheets are available at receiver pick-up points.

Stretching from Hackney Marshes, through Waltham Forest to Redbridge, the M11 Link Road was completed in 1999 after the demolition of 400 houses amid dramatic and passionate protest. Graeme Miller has filled the empty spaces these buildings once occupied with a treasure trail of sound celebrating everyday East End life. Along a three-mile route, 20 transmitters broadcast hidden voices, testimonies and memories of those who once lived and worked where the motorway now runs. Borrow a receiver and map to explore the streets alongside the road and hear the speech and music that brings the landscape back to life. Read more here.
