Sculpture and installation, made for the exhibition.

Editioned and unique pieces for foundations, residencies, museums and public commissions.

Cultural commissions ask the same question every time: does the piece hold the room? Welded, forged or assembled – the work is sized, finished and crated against the venue, not the workshop floor.

Open to residency briefs and curatorial dialogues. Documentation, certificates of authenticity, installation plans on request.

01

Curatorial dialogue

Reading the programme, the room, the sightlines – before drawing the piece.

02

Exhibition-grade finish

Surfaces tested under gallery and natural light. No surprises at install.

03

Crating and transport

Travel-ready packing, insured shipping, on-site assembly when scale demands it.

04

Documentation

Provenance, certificate, condition report, install guide – provided as a deliverable.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Do you accept residencies?

Yes – we have produced pieces on residency for Protagon Performing Arts (Frankfurt) and at music and art festivals. A residency works when the venue provides power, space and basic safety. We arrive with the workshop's portable kit.

How do you handle large-scale outdoor pieces?

Steel that lives outdoors is specified for it: cold-bent and hot-formed sections, hand-darkened patina, drainage built into hollow elements. We document the expected weathering and the maintenance window for re-waxing.

What documentation comes with a sculpture?

A certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, a condition report from leaving the workshop, an installation guide, and (when relevant) a provenance statement. Editioned pieces are numbered and recorded in a register.

Can the workshop loan pieces for exhibitions?

Yes, on request and against a standard loan agreement. Transport, insurance and on-site install are handled per piece. Shorter exhibitions are easier; long-term loans we case-by-case.

Do you work with cultural budgets that include public funding?

Yes, frequently – public commissions and venue residencies. Invoicing is structured against milestones (deposit, halfway, delivery) and is compatible with the typical funder timelines.

Carry an idea. Bring it to steel.

If you carry a project – a piece, a building, a setting – I would like to hear about it. Most commissions begin with a short exchange about the place, the use, the rough budget and timeline.
