Hospital Rooms and Hauser & Wirth have partnered once more for an annual auction to raise money for the arts and mental health charity. An accompanying exhibition, ‘Holding Space’, converts Hauser & Wirth’s London gallery into a fully sensory space encompassing light, sound and movement.

Each hour, a sound recorded by South West London Recovery College with composer Alex Groves and the National Opera Studio, will ring throughout the space. Demonstrating new harmonic sounds created by a unique combination of humming, droning and vocalising, the performance will provide an emotive aural backdrop to works including Sutapa Biswas’ mural, originally created for Springfield University Hospital with patients in the OCD clinic.

It is a collaborative spirit also celebrated by Abbas Zahedi, whose magnetised sun created with and for patients in forensic services holds a kinetic interactive poetry piece inside, written by those who experienced mental health services.
A ceiling installation by Richard Wentworth joins works by Rachael Champion and illuminated sculptures by Jonathan Trayte, while artists Alvin Kofi, Victoria Cantons, Valerie Asiimwe Amani, Giles Deacon, Richard Mark Rawlins and Katharine Lazenby have created vast beds and cushions for visitors to recline on.
