#45 TIM SHAW | Hospital Rooms | artist and co-founder, London
Artist Tim Shaw founded, together with his partner Niamh White, a curator, Hospital Rooms after a close friend of them had to be hospitalized in a mental ward. Hospital Rooms brings great art into spaces where it is really making a difference - working with psychiatric units all over the UK. Listen to Tim’s truly inspiring story how artists and art can shape difficult spaces in an energizing way and how the personal empathy and engagement of, in the beginning, just two people, creates a field that affects society and humanity in a profound way.
