We've all used the excuse "it must have got stuck in the post" and this knotted post box might explain where all the missing letters are. On closer inspection, it's not actually a real post box but an art installation which appeared overnight one autumn evening in 2019. With Alphabetti Spaghetti British artist Alex Chinneck, known for creating playful public artworks, transforms the everyday into the less ordinary. This series of sculptures, three of which were installed in one night in London, Margate and Sheffield, turns familiar, functional items into works of art.
