A graphic design charity calls for action against cancer

Design journalist and author Max Fraser has invited more than 150 established and emerging designers to create a one-off artwork that expresses the 'Joy of Living', using just three pieces of differently coloured A4 paper,in support of Maggie’s Centres that provide free practical and emotional support for people living with cancer. These exhibits will be available to view at One Poultry in the City of London between Tuesday 5 September and Sunday 10 September.

Maggie's aims to be there for anyone living with cancer. As Maggie herself said: “Above all what matters is not to lose the joy of living in the fear of dying”.

Artworks have been generously donated by a range of creative talent, including designers Jasper Morrison, Fredrikson Stallard, Barber & Osgerby, Tom Dixon, Ross Lovegrove, Eley Kishimoto and Ilse Crawford; architects Amanda Levete, Ivan Harbour and Steven Holl; architectural designer John Pawson; jewellery designers Hannah Martin and Jade Jagger; and artists Richard Woods and Rolf Sachs. Each piece will be signed but displayed anonymously.

All proceeds from this project will go towards supporting the Centre's network, so more people with cancer can find the support they need.

All artworks will be available to bid for online, and on location at One Poultry, from 5 – 10 September 2017. For more information, visit the Maggie’s website.
