Barnaby Barford is marking 20 years of collaboration with David Gill gallery through the exhibition 'We Are Where We Are', featuring 35 ceramic sculptures and large-scale drawings. The show includes a new work titled 'Ascension'. To celebrate, Wallpaper* magazine revisits its November 2007 issue, in which Barford took over the fashion pages, dressing his found porcelain figurines in designer labels such as Missoni, Versace, Gucci, Christian Dior, and Prada, photographed by Theo Cook with fashion styling by Sophie Dean and Sébastien Clivaz.
The exhibition underscores Barford's distinctive, subversive approach, using found porcelain figures to satirize contemporary issues like consumerism, apathy, and societal chaos. The collaboration with Wallpaper* highlights how Barford's absurdist humor translates across media, merging fine art with fashion editorial. The show runs at David Gill gallery until 30 May 2026, offering a sustained opportunity to engage with his critical commentary on modern life.
