At Home, Everywhere and Nowhere
Simeon Barclay
6 Oct – 14 Nov 2023

5 Warwick Street London

Gathering and Workplace are delighted to present At Home, Everywhere and Nowhere, an ambitious solo exhibition of large-scale sculpture, installation, and wall-based work by Simeon Barclay, collaboratively shown across both galleries. Each gallery will feature paintings from the same wall-based acrylic series, drawing an explicit continuity between the overlapping exhibitions.

Installation Views (25 images)

At Gathering, Barclay is presenting a larger-than-life inflatable sculpture of the artist wearing a Donald Duck outfit, referencing a 1980 Elton John performance in New York City. Evolving from a previous sculpture exhibited at South London Gallery, the newly created work takes on an overwhelming presence within the gallery, adopting a pompous scale akin to the 1995 Michael Jackson HIStory album statue, witnessed by Barclay floating down the River Thames.

Gathering
Selected Works (7 images)

Drawing upon a deep vein of cultural sources, Barclay creates a sophisticated and complex interplay of scultpure, sound and collage in each gallery. Collectively, the artworks further Barclay’s idiosyncratic engagement with art history, fashion, identity and histories of image making.
