Home takes on many guises and for thousands of people; home might be the street, a hostel or a friend’s floor. Crisis, the UK’s national charity for single homeless people have commissioned a number of leading contemporary artists including Martin Creed, Mark Wallinger, Gavin Turk, George Shaw, Bill Woodrow and Richard Long to make works that respond to the theme of ‘home’. Their work will be shown alongside works by people who’ve experienced homelessness before being auctioned at Christie’s with all proceeds going to Crisis.
GlaxoSmithKline have covered the cost of the commissions.
