ActivityKevin Llewellyn Cavan, better known as Stewart Home, sometimes written as Stuart (a name commonly used by activists) , was born in South London in 1962. He left school at 16, spending periods of unemployment claiming benefits or taking on occasional jobs in factories, shops and as an art class model. Home is best known as an activist, artist and writer but has also been a punk musician and film-maker. Home's work is notably provocative with the overt use of pranks, parody, plagiarism, pornography and sadism. His public interest in the avant-garde, the occult, radical left-wing politics and the anti-art movement have made him a controversial figure. He has written under aliases including Karen Eliot, Luther Blissett, Monty Cantsin and the Neoist Alliance.
