Our 10th anniversary of this event was always going to be different – and this year we have embraced a digital platform to enable us to deliver the same high quality artwork, with some fantastic contributions, some from Royal Academicians and one from a celebrated street artist. I am sure you will enjoy browsing the online catalogue from the comfort of your own surroundings, placing bids as you engage with these wonderful artworks. We are indebted to all artists who have made contributions during our anniversary year. 10x10 brings together artists, architects, sculptors and designers, who create and donate artworks inspired by our day to day interaction with the built environment. Article 25 contributors often create a unique piece for the auction. This year’s theme is Markets from Memory, allowing for the reduced and curtailed activity in daily markets, it gave the artists an opportunity to explore the theme laterally. Virtual markets such as housing and financial markets have been depicted, as well as artists recalling markets from their memories and imagination. Markets are the life-blood of a city. Real or virtual, they connect us with the makers, growers and distributors of our daily needs. The artworks in the auction celebrate these local centres of commerce, community and creativity. We hope you enjoy the artworks that we have curated. By securing a winning bid on your favourite artwork, you will be supporting our dedicated team of humanitarian architects. We work with vulnerable communities recovering from disaster, conflict and poverty. Article 25’s work abroad aims to create thriving, resilient communities, as we design and build schools, hospitals, and homes in the developing world. Thank you for your ongoing and unwavering support! David Murray Managing Director 1 2 Article 25 We Make Design Matter Article 25 is the world’s leading humanitarian architecture charity. Our vision is for a world where buildings are designed and constructed to provide sustainable solutions to disease, poverty and need. Our art auction is one way you can help to raise funds to support our charity. In 2020 we completed an Outpatient Department for Leprosy Mission in Purulia, India. We have made great progress in the construction of a Trauma Hospital in Nepal and we are nearing completion of the first phase of construction on a secondary school in Niger. We opened the first classroom block at Child Support Tanzania’s inclusive pre-school, in Mbeya. We started the design work on a children’s village for Kao La Amani orphanage in the north of Tanzania, a community hospital in Montserrat, and a major housing reconstruction programme in Dominica. We also devised a Covid-19 response to improve sanitation in Yangon General Hospital, Myanmar, and helped to raise awareness and funds to provide better shelter in Beirut after the huge explosions that damaged or destroyed more than 45,000 buildings. 3 4 © Nicolas Réméné © Grant Smith Like many towns and cities throughout the world, London became less accessible during the Covid 19 outbreak in 2020. Despite this, a cohort of committed artistic contributors took inspiration from their memories of one of many thriving marketplaces that exist in towns and cities around the world. Contributors have thought laterally about this year’s theme, depicting actual market stalls as well as abstract ones such as housing and financial markets. We have curated a series of exciting artworks that we are showcasing through our own digital marketplace, via our online auction. We are very grateful for the contributions from all our committed artists during this period of uncertainty in health and economy. You can peruse the artworks on our online gallery.
