Sharks! is an art installation of five life sized fibreglass shark models, designed by architect Jaimie Shorten and set on floating platforms on Regent's Canal at 55 Laburnum Street in Hoxton, in London's Borough of Hackney, in front of an art centre built into repurposed docks. The installation won the 2020 Antepavilion, an annual architecture and art contest, whose theme that year addressed the tension between authoritarian governance of the built environment and aesthetic libertarianism, and it was built as that year's winning entry.
