The Crisis Commission
The Crisis Commission will see some of the most celebrated artists of our day unite to bring major new works to Somerset House. The Crisis Commission will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience major works from our greatest contemporary artists reacting to an issue that is sadly becoming ever more prominent in today鈥檚 society 鈥 homelessness. It is hugely exciting that artists of this calibre are right now making original works that will reflect on the exhibition鈥檚 themes of isolation, property, security and space. I can鈥檛 wait to install them in Somerset House for all to enjoy, but also to provoke thought on what it is like not to have a home. - Laurence Sillars, Curator of the Crisis Commission and Chief Curator at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art
