MONUMENTAL CONSTRUCTIONS

OLIVIER GROSSETÊTE + THE BÂTISSES SOEURS

You are invited to join world-renowned French artist Olivier Grossetête on the Cornhill to imagine and build Cardinal Wolsey’s Tudor college entirely from cardboard and tape!

The Cardinal never got to see the designs for his college completed; all that’s left of it today is the historic Wolsey Gate on College Street near St Peter’s Church. This October, we will finish building it together, before gathering for a public demolition — a huge, joyful celebration of Ipswich and its people.

Since 2000, Olivier Grossetête has travelled across the world to create almost 250 different constructions inspired by local architecture, visiting five continents and recruiting thousands of people in his adventure.
