The initiative started in 2018 with artist Anna Skladmann presenting ‘Ghost In The Machine – Understanding The Language of Flowers’ during Art Night 2018 which ran across Nine Elms, Vauxhall and South Bank.
Collaborating with contemporary art festival Art Night, the annual commission is funded by VSM (VINCI St Modwen), New Covent Garden Market’s redevelopment partner.
