RE BAR by Hot Wire Extensions for Max Radford Gallery

RE BAR is a new body of work by Fabio Hendry of Hot Wire Extensions, inspired by the built environment. The collection draws from rebar nets commonly found on building sites. Rebar, alongside concrete, forms the backbone of our built environment, though it typically remains hidden within architecture. Through this work, Fabio seeks to elevate and rethink these structures and make the often overlooked, yet fundamental material visible. He transposes his self-taught method onto these frames, freezing moments of broken and fragmented beauty to create a new visual language.

Part of The Practice of Learning programme curated by Jane Withers Studio, RE BAR showcases the next phase in Fabio’s transmutational process of bonding the powder discarded in the selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D-printing process onto wire substructures – a technique he has refined over ten years through trial and error.

AHEC Presents: ""Communion"" by Giles Tettey Nartey at the V&A for LDF 2024

For his second showing in Brompton, British-Ghanaian designer Giles Tettey Nartey brings culture, culinary tradition, and the rituals of domestic life in Ghana to life with "Communion," an extraordinary food prep table. Expertly crafted in American maple by Jan Hendzel Studio, this table isn't just a piece of furniture – it's a stage for the communal art of making fufu, a staple West African dish made by pounding cassava into dough. 🌍🍲

"Communion" reimagines this age-old practice as a shared, performative experience where everyone comes together in the creation of food, turning a daily ritual into a powerful celebration of community.
