ROADS / Spirit - @adon____26 Debut Runway Collaborating with @bacchus.agency to bring this concept to life was a delight. “ROADS / Spirit...was inspired by an excursion to one of the coldest inhabited regions on earth. In a stark warehouse space, decorated with floating transmission poles...” - Elliot Hoste, Dazed The scenic elements were expertly crafted and rigged by our talented MDM Team. Planned, executed, installed and de-rigged within a tight and precise timeline.

Tower of Now - @saad_qureshi_studio Having had the pleasure of working with Saad Qureshi on wonderful projects before, we were honoured to work on this amazing piece. Created and built collaboratively with Qureshi, and installed in Hall Ings, Bradford, this 15-metre sculpture pays tribute to the rich variety of cultures present in the city, the district and the nation in 2025. “Tower of Now is inspired by memory and place, and how our sense of who we are can be shaped by the buildings we see around us. Incorporating architectural features from around the globe, it features Qureshi’s trademark intricate woodwork, but on a monumental scale – taller than three double-decker buses.” - Bradford 2025 Materials: Mixed media including wood, steel, fibreglass, resin and sand. Commission for Bradford 2025 City of Culture.

20:50 - Richard Wilson The latest iteration of Richard Wilson’s iconic oil installation 20:50 has been built in the top floor of the Saatchi Gallery. The exhibition is open to the public until the end of April. “Filling the space with recycled engine oil, it creates a mirrored environment that both disorients and captivates.” - Saatchi Gallery We worked with Richard Wilson on this, all the way through from designing the piece for the space, fabrication to final installation at the Saatchi. The first time we worked on this piece was many years ago, and we’re so excited to see it back in the Saatchi again. Swipe to see 20:50 when we first installed it at the Saatchi in 2010. Installed as part of THE LONG NOW: Saatchi Gallery at 40 5 November 2025 - 26 April 2026

Stranger Things - Christmas Trees We loved collaborating on this exciting project from start to finish with @the_experience_agency_uk , creating and delivering two striking Christmas trees in some of the busiest train stations in London and Manchester. Each tree was a fully bespoke build, starting with custom-designed metal armatures fabricated in-house. The structures were then hand dressed in fire-rated artificial foliage, split half green and half black to reflect the duality of the Stranger Things world. The Stranger Things themed ornaments were created using bespoke CNC machined patterns, to produce PETG vacuum-formed pieces that decorated the trees. The trees even featured iconic elements from the show sets, including retro TVs, BMX bikes and skateboards. The Upside Down vines and ornaments were scenically treated to achieve a convincingly decayed, otherworldly Christmassy finish. AV and Lighting installation - @insert.productions Stranger Things Christmas Trees - publicly displayed in Manchester Piccadilly Station and London Waterloo Station - special thanks to all the Station staff for their help and support during the install and de-rigs! @strangerthingstv @netflixuk @netflix

‘The Humanitarian Memorial’ - Michael Landy, 2025 We worked with Michael Landy on this piece, from the initial conception of the memorial, through design, fabricating the steel figures, spray painting, including the individual texts for each figure, and final installation on site. “The Humanitarian Memorial is the first memorial of it’s kind. It is a circle of 15 human-scale figures, linked at the hands... inside the circle, text and images are drawn onto the figures, telling stories of humanitarian aid work.” - Visit Gunnersbury Park ‘The Humanitarian Memorial’ (2025) is permanently located in Gunnersbury Park, just south of the Round Pond between the Cedars of Lebanon and open to the public.

‘Speaking in Dreams’ - Yulia Mahr, 2025 We worked on this site specific installation in collaboration with interdisciplinary artist Yulia Mahr. The piece is made up of a 2m diameter sphere and a life size crow, both fabricated using charcoal jesmonite, volcanic sand and graphite. “Using sculpture, photography and elemental materials such as ash, charcoal and taxidermy, Mahr transformed the space into a striking meditation on the threshold between dreaming and waking.“ - Compton Verney Thank you to @yuliamahr and her team for such a wonderful collaboration. ‘Speaking in Dreams’ (2025) was installed at and created for historic Capability Brown-designed chapel at Compton Verney.

‘Public Figures’ - Do Ho Suh, 2025 We worked on this piece in close collaboration with Do Ho Suh and his studio, all the way from collaborating in designing the piece from Do Ho Suh’s sketches, to installing the finished, moving piece at the Tate Modern. ‘Public Figures’ was originally made in 1998 as a static sculpture. It took 27 years to eventually realise Do Ho Suh’s original ambition of making this fully kinetic version. “(the piece is) a full scale, totally analogue mechanism encased within a hollow plinth. The artwork is operated internally by two people – one to manoeuvre the plinth and the other to hand-crank the figurines’ movement. Both work in coordination to achieve the appearance of hundreds of figures carrying the pedestal.” - Do Ho Suh The figurines are based on Do Ho Suh’s original sketches, 3D printed in nylon and attached to steel and aluminium animatronics. The column has an aluminium armature and is cast from a proprietary stone impregnated resin mix. ‘Public Figures’ (2025) was displayed at the Tate Modern last year as part of The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House. ‘Public Figures’, 2025 jesmonite, nylon, aluminium, steel photography by Craig Murdoch © Do Ho Suh

King Abdulaziz Centre For World Culture Back in 2016 we fabricated a series of lifesize animals for the Natural History gallery within the @ithra museum - a centre of culture and education in Dahran, Saudi Arabia. The gallery highlights the diverse landscape of the Arabian Peninsula, featuring a range of animals all fabricated in resin and finished with a variety of materials. The largest - an extinct aquatic reptile called a Mosasaur, believed to have existed over 66 million years ago. The exhibition remains open as a key education centre.

To My Ships - Liberty London Luxury personal care brand @tomyships launches their new range ‘Stand Up Bravely’ with a stunning, expansive installation in Liberty’s central atrium. The two striking Pasticcio columns, fabricated by MDM, were created using custom metal frameworks finished in scenic plaster with intricate sculptural detailing. The largest of the two measures in at a collosal 13m, displaying the brand’s products across all 6 floors. Head to @libertylondon until 25th May to see it for yourself.

‘1880 THAT’ - Wellcome Collection Artists @chrisunkim and @thomasmadertm present their first major London exhibition ‘1880 THAT’, exploring sign language and the right to communicate, through a playful and thought-provoking collection of works. MDM fabricated three elements of the exhibition: ‘NOT CROSS’ - a 13m long brick wall addressing the disconnect between words and body language, ‘Look Up My Nose’ - a bespoke nose shaped drum with an internal beating mechanism designed to release vibrations that visitors can feel, and a small replica of the nose drum for visually impaired visitors. Head to @wellcomecollection for this free exhibition, open now until 16 November 2025. #sculpture #artfabrication
