'From the knees of my nose to the belly of my toes' A temporary art instalment created by Alex Chinneck at 1 Godwin Road at a cost of £100,000. The Thanet District Council owned building has been re-fronted with a new fascia giving the impression the front facade has slid down into the garden, leaving the top floor room exposed. The house was empty for 11 years before the council compulsory purchased it. The project was finished in October to stay for one year.
