Across Workplace and Gathering galleries is Simeon Barclay’s solo exhibition of large-scale sculpture, installations and paintings. A series of acrylic paintings, which feature the nonchalant faces of models in Hedi Slimane’s Celine Autumn/Winter 2023 campaign – is on view at both galleries. At Workplace the artist presents a film installation that fills the gallery space with strobe lighting, alongside translucent bins and neon text, and at Gathering he presents sculptural installations, including the enormous inflatable of the artist wearing a Donald Duck costume, which refers to a 1980 performance by Elton John in New York City.
