In August 2020, Russell Gray provided an interview with The Guardian, conducted by journalist Oliver Wainwright, regarding Sharks! and previous battles with Hackney Council. Mr. Gray was misquoted in this interview, which were a wilful and defamatory misrepresentation of Mr. Gray's position. Those misquotations have since been used in Court by LB Hackney as supporting evidence in their claim for an injunction against the installation.

Numerous requests have been made to The Guardian for the full recording of the interview, which would show clearly where Mr. Gray was misquoted and undo many of LB Hackney's claims that have used these statements to support their cause. Along with the full audio recording which, Antepavilion demands a right of reply to the retraction and apology be printed by The Guardian on the same platforms, with equal prominence given to them as to the initial interview.

The Guardian's continued refusal to release the recording have left Antepavilion with no choice but to file an official complaint to the ICO.
