Workplace is delighted to announce that Simeon Barclay's site-specific commission has been unveiled today at Deutsche Bank's new UK headquarters, London.

Simeon Barclay’s commission at 21 Moorfields combines his interest in architectural space and the use of collage to engage with Deutsche Bank’s long history of trade and it’s structure as a multinational company. 

Barclay draws upon a variety of cultural sources to produce works that explore the ways in which we navigate identity, both imposed and self-curated. His work combines a diverse range of media, creating dynamic, spatially responsive installations that engage with aspects of aesthetics, British culture, subjectivity and memory. 

Activating the architecture of 21 Moorfields, Barclay uses collage, layering and surface to both contradict and create new meaning. These strategies, where differing forms and images coalesce, is reflective of Deutsche Bank’s values of inclusivity and diversity. As a form of visual communication that aims to talk across physical and conceptual boundaries, the work attempts to replicate complex human interaction, suggesting the cultural dynamics essential both in the world and the workplace as a means to driving personal and organisational innovation forward.
