For Portavilion, a project that puts mobile public art in London's open spaces, Swedish artist Annika Eriksson teamed up with architects and engineers to create a mini movie theatre in the heart of Regent's Park. Dubbed The Smallest Cinema in the World — For the Wealthy and the Good, the six-seat screening room shows films made by Eriksson in response to some of the park's lesser-known aspects; for example, the fact that the landscape was designed by palace architect John Nash in 1811 and originally intended for royal use, but opened to the public in 1835. The Portavilion series runs through the summer, with artists Toby Paterson and Monika Sosnowska installing work in Potters Fields Park and Primrose Hill, respectively.
