‘Objects of Change’ Exhibition and Auction: Design with a Cause
LONDON: Just 2 weeks remain before the UK’s leading built environment charity Article 25’s unveils its most ambitious event yet: a high-profile art exhibition and auction in entitled ‘Objects of Change’. Held between 16-19 May at prestigious contemporary art gallery and auction house La Galleria Pall Mall, this will raise essential funds for Article 25’s vital work in post-disaster regions throughout the world. Exhibition: 16th (Invite Only), 17-19th May (Public Viewing), Auction: 19th May, 6 for 8pm.
Building on the phenomenal success of their ‘Art for Architecture’ auction in 2009 which raised over £50,000 in one night thanks to generous contributions from the likes of Lord Norman Foster and Zaha Hadid, Article 25 now hopes to double that achievement. ‘Objects of Change’ will be a much bigger event, with a focus on 3D pieces, and taking place over the course of one week.
With Article 25’s Shoreditch-based employees and volunteers working around the clock to ensure the event’s success, work was interrupted with just days to go with a highly generous last minute donation. The offer? ‘A Routemaster bus for an hour, driven by the Commissioner of Transport for London, Peter Hendy, in association with the London Festival of Architecture. Take 64 friends or colleagues, you decide where, and Peter will drive you there.’
Despite scheduled tube strikes during the week of the event threatening to derail plans, TFL’s spirit of generosity will doubtless win the day!
Add to this pieces such as Lord Norman Foster’s ‘Gherkin’ model, Lord Richard Rogers’ ‘Lloyds of London’ model, Bjarke Ingels’ Pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo and Thomas Heatherwick’s Seed Cathedral. Throw in donations from Sir Terence Conran, Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell, Rob Ryan, Christo, Odile Decq, Tadao Ando, Albert France-Lanord, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Giacomo Costa, Roger Mavity and many more, and the event’s status as a celebration of the crème de la crème of the ‘art-chitectural’ world is confirmed.

‘Objects of Change’ is all about celebrating iconic objects which have inspired change. A promotion of the power of an object to shape the future and enrich the present. As a charity which delivers design innovation and safe buildings in some of the world’s worst post-disaster zones, Article 25, now in its 5th year and having worked on over 50 projects in 22 countries, is all too aware of this power.
Safe buildings have the power to make or break a community and the funds raised at this Auction will ensure that Article 25 can continue ensuring that the former is the case in the world’s most vulnerable communities. We look forward to seeing you there.
