In 2008 Shelter, in association with Leo Burnett London, launched the House of Cards Campaign, to raise awareness of the housing insecurity facing millions of families in the UK. More than 1.9 million households await social housing and an estimated 65,000 face repossession this year. The campaign featured contributions from a selection of world renown artists, each offering their own card designs to the program. A recent exhibition celebrating the campaign opened in Paris, showcasing works from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Nick Park, Damien Hirst, D*Face, and M/M Paris amongst many others. A recap of the exhibition can be seen below while further information on the House of Cards can be found here.

    Thanks for posting this. Good to see some photos of the actual exhibition in situ. My design for the ‘Eight of Clubs’ is on the third gallery photo down, to the right of the ‘Four of Diamonds’ dress on the mannequin. You might notice that my name is not mentioned on the list of participating artists – that’s because my card design was the winning piece from the METRO / SHELTER competition as judged by Simon Henwood and the image of my ‘Octobeetle’ was added to the catalogue at the last minute….
