Not often we get serious at Ten Towers but we’re making a brief exception for our mate Laura Weir’s beautiful special edition of the Evening Standard Magazine, released this week. The new edition features the works of some of the art world’s biggest names: Gillian Wearing, Wolfgang Tilmans, Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley and Jamie Hewlett, all of whom have contributed covers that pay tribute to London’s resilience in the face of recent tragedies. Speaking on the issue, Laura said, “I wanted to pay tribute to the capital’s resilience in the face of recent tragedies – at Westminster, Borough, Finsbury Park, the Grenfell Tower atrocity – and to commemorate the 7/7 anniversary of the London bombings, which fell 12 years ago this Friday. The issue is designed to spread a message of hope and respect, and to create an enduring platform that will keep these stories alive.” We’re immensely proud to call this city our home – it’s a place like no other – diverse and inclusive. Massive congratulations to Laura (and welcome back!), her team and all the artists involved from all at Ten. Reminds us how lucky we are.
