Barbed is sponsoring the 2010 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion designed by the world-renowned French architect Jean Nouvel.

Nouvel’s entire Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is a vivid red, reflecting the iconic images of British telephone boxes, post boxes and London buses.

Barbed is providing the Pavilion with thoughtfully designed, contemporary outdoor furniture also in vivid red. The tables and hammocks will populate the Pavilion and allow it to operate as a public space, a café and as a venue for Park Nights, the Gallery’s acclaimed programme of public talks and events.

The Pavilion opens on July 10 on the Serpentine Gallery lawn, where it will remain until October. Jean Nouvel will be discussing the groundbreaking design of the Pavilion at a talk, on Monday 12 July at 5pm.

29 May 2010 - 27 February 2011

The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is presenting an extensive exhibition of work by David Nash, tracing the evolution of the artist’s forty-year career and offering a vivid statement of his life’s work. Nash has developed an eloquent understanding of trees, working with their traits to create sculpture, installation, projects and related drawings.

Barbed has supplied the Yorkshire Sculpture Park with products from its Sort of Coal range for sale alongside a range of exhibition merchandise. The range includes the Japanese Kishu Binchotan – a piece of the highest quality White Charcoal for purifying drinking water.

The exhibition will be documented through a specially commissioned artist film by Pete Telfer, edited alongside archive footage, presenting a fascinating insight into the artist and his practice.

David Nash is giving an Evening Talk at the Royal Academy on Thursday 8 July 2010.
