BATTERSEA ART CENTRE -
Re-opening
Commissioned by Battersea Art Centre
Studio Radar was commissioned to create a large group image to commemorate the opening of the renewed Grand Hall after it was destroyed by fire in 2015. 'We wanted to champion the principles which have enabled the organisation to get back on its feet. So we devised a photograph of our friends coming together, pictured with our collective values. “Not for me, Not for you, But for Us” is Battersea’s mid-19th century motto and is one of Battersea Arts Centre’s core values. We think it captures a spirit of generosity and shared endeavour.'
FUEL THEATRE - 10th Anniversary
Commissioned by FUEL THEATRE
Fuel Theatre commissioned Studio Radar to create a special limited edition set of photographs. 'We wanted to celebrate all the people with whom we will continue to make incredible, creative ideas in the future. We asked some of them to create an image with Manuel Vason which included themselves and an object which spoke of their relationship with Fuel. And then we asked them to share some thoughts for the future.'
​
The result is a very special box of images which are available in a limited edition of 250, designed by Valle Walkley.” – Fuel Theatre
