Projects Test

Jan Hendzel, An Offering

27 February 2026 - 17 April 2026

An Offering presents a series of sculptural works by Jan Hendzel.

His practice unfolds between two parallel forms of expertise: material knowledge and the act of making, brought together through an engagement with process and embodied labour. The exhibition brings together a series of totemic works that establish a dialogue between sculpture, architecture, and the votive dimensions of making, inviting viewers into an intimate space where the works operate collectively as an offering. Together, they shape the gallery as a series of aligned forms that invite tactile engagement with materiality.

The exhibition will run from: 27 February 2026 - 17 April 2026.

Hanna Benihoud, The Living Room

January - February 2026

'The Living Room' proposes a radical act: celebrating ordinary women in public space. The work forms part of the artist's ongoing practice of taking up space with larger-than-life women who share real, lived experiences.

ABOUT HANNA BENIHOUD STUDIO
Hanna Benihoud is an interdisciplinary artist who left architecture to found her studio in 2016. Her practice combines public art, wayfinding, illustration and animation, challenging where architecture ends and art begins.

Jason Bruges Studio, Living Cornice

18 September 2025 - 6 January 2026

Living Cornice is the inaugural exhibition by Forefront, presented in collaboration with Jason Bruges Studio. Installed within Forefront’s gallery HQ in Old Street, the exhibition showcases a series of lumino-kinetic prototypes that explore dynamic computational caustics through choreographed metallic forms. Drawing subtle references from neoclassical architecture, the works animate light as a living material, producing shifting reflections that transform the surrounding space into a theatrical environment.

Offering a behind-the-scenes insight into process and experimentation, Living Cornice reveals how inanimate structures are engineered to behave as responsive reflectors. The exhibition functions both as a standalone installation and as an experimental testing ground for a forthcoming public artwork commissioned by Forefront and HGG London for a passageway in Euston.

Marking the beginning of Forefront’s wider programme, Living Cornice establishes a platform for dialogue between art, architecture and the built environment.

“This project is a celebration of the technological craft that transforms liminal, often overlooked spaces into captivating cultural interventions that ignite the imagination and inspire wonder. Through a behind-the-scenes glimpse of prototypes and experiments, the exhibition shares the process of turning the inanimate into living reflectors.”
