We are thrilled to share that Dawn Breaks, a solar artwork created by Chloe Uden, has been purchased by mudac – Musée de design et d'arts appliqués contemporains in Lausanne, Switzerland! The piece now joins their main collection and will be exhibited as part of Soleil·s. Solar Biennale 2, running from 21st March to 21st September 2025.

In August The Art and Energy Collective were commissioned by The West Midlands Combined Authority to create an artwork to celebrate the launch of the region’s new energy strategy which over 100 organisations have been involved in co-creating.
