Marque curates quilts arts project
Glasgow-based Marque is currently curating an online project A Little Piece of Mind, which has seen a number of famous names from the worlds of fashion and design get involved to raise money for homeless charities in the US and UK.
The initiative has seen various artists and designers contribute a square to a series of patchwork quilts – either by sending a unique swatch designed using a template, or donating material to be used to create a swatch, or by submitting a work of animation or photography for a further, special digital quilt - which will ultimately be auctioned off to raise money for homeless charities Shelter in the UK and the Bowery Mission in the US.
Giles Deacon, Luella Bartley, PPQ, Orla Kiely, Bill Amberg, Hussein Chalayan, Stephen Jones, Eley Kishimoto and Alice Temperley are just some of the famous fashion world names involved in art project A Little Piece Of Mind.
The quilts will go on display in London, Glasgow and New York prior to being auctioned.
Following a VIP preview on April 9, the quilts will be on public display until April 15 at the Huntingdon Project Space, 28 Redchurch Street, London.
