Had-Fab can work with customers, using years of knowledge and experience to design, fabricate and construct bespoke structures.
Exposure is one of Had-Fab’s most unique and iconic pieces of work, and showcases just what the we are capable of. Comissioned by artist Antony Gormley, Exposure takes the form of a crouching man, weighing over 60 tonnes. The team at Had-Fab had to overcome many challenges to make this project a reality, but in 2010 it was finally completed and the structure now stands in Lelystad, in the Netherlands.
Exposure attracted a lot of attention both locally, and in the media. We carried out a full check-erection at our East Lothian premises – creating quite a talking point on the local landscape – to prove the design before it was shipped in pieces to the Netherlands. Below are photos of Exposure both during its construction and once completed; as well as press coverage of the structure throughout its construction. Videos about various aspects of the Exposure project can be found here.
