context_page_description: Greyworld are a collective of London-based artists who create public-activated art, sculpture and interactive installations. Although often varied in their materials, their work is typically subtle and environmentally reflective, often allowing participants the opportunity to play through the work. The following descriptions are of a few selected artworks.
context_section_description: In 2007, Greyworld launched Monument to the Unknown Artist beside the Tate Modern on London's Bankside. A permanent installation, it garnered the interest of the world's media.
  At first glance the installation would appear to be a simple bronze statue, dressed in a neck scarf and loose fitting suit. However, the six-metre-high (20 ft) monument seeks inspiration from passers-by, inviting them to strike poses which he copies, continually changing his form in a light-hearted and mischievous way. The unique sculpture offers an alternative and accessible creative experience for the public, allowing them to create a dialogue with the work of art.
