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.'
