Produced by the Bristol-based arts organisation, Situations, Nowhereisland was an artwork by Alex Hartley.

Nowhereisland was an ‘Artists Taking the Lead’ project, funded by Arts Council England as part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

The work involved excavating material from an island exposed by a glacier on the Svalbard peninsula in Norway.

The material was then sculpted into a floating piece of art called Nowhere Island.

The sculpture was loaded onto a sailing vessel and floated along the South West coast.

Via its website, thousands of people signed up as "citizens of Nowhereisland".
