Jesse Wine and Haffendi Anuar win inaugural Powerhouse Commission for Battersea Power Station sculptures

Jesse Wine and Haffendi Anuar have been chosen as the inaugural recipients of the Powerhouse Commission, an outdoor sculpture initiative by the Battersea Power Station Development Company and the Cass Sculpture Foundation. Their artworks will be unveiled this September at Circus West Village in London. Wine, a British artist now living in New York, takes cues from local sculptural traditions, reinterpreting Henry Moore's works that were displayed in Battersea Park during his studies at the Royal College of Art. On the other hand, Anuar, who is from Malaysia, plans to create a series of pilotis—typical architectural features in Asian homes—to represent the power station's chimneys. They were picked from nine finalists, which included notable names like Claire Barclay and Olaf Breuning.
