Clack Clack is inspired by the surrealist hand silhouettes that adorned Diane von Furstenberg’s Fall/Winter 2012 couture collection. Barclay takes this motif producing a graphic signature that whilst suggesting movement, playfully references the mixologist, recalling their physical relationship to the cocktail shaker and the act of Cocktail making. This mixing action is also alluded to in the title of the design Clack Clack which suggests the rattling sound of the ice in the process of chilling and dilution.
The artist’s chosen cocktail is the ‘Last Word’, a gin-based cocktail originating at the Detroit Athletic Club in the 1910s, shortly before the start of Prohibition.
Simeon Barclay (b. 1975, Huddersfield, UK) received his BA from Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds in 2010 and an MFA from Goldsmiths College, London in 2014.

40 Years of the Future: Editions
In collaboration with Ryan Gander OBE RA (Castlefield Gallery Artist Patron), to mark Castlefield Gallery’s 40 year anniversary, we are delighted to present a new collection of limited-edition artworks.
40 Years of the Future: Editions are a limited series of beautifully engraved cocktail shakers, created with a group of celebrated, award-winning artists, who at the invitation of Ryan Gander have donated their designs in support of Castlefield Gallery.
40 Years of the Future: Editions artists are:
Ryan Gander OBE RA, Joy Division and Peter Saville CBE, Bob and Roberta Smith OBE RA, Shezad Dawood, Lindsey Mendick, Simeon Barclay and Hannah Perry.
The new editions were first revealed at Soho House x Castlefield Gallery, 40 Years of the Future: Lates, an event that brought together, in conversation, artists Ryan Gander, Peter Saville, Shezad Dawood, Hannah Perry and Simeon Barclay. At the event Gander shared his love of cocktails and his reasons for proposing a series of cocktail shakers. This included thoughts on cocktails – from how the invention of and mixing of them is akin to a creative act, to how they are often used to mark a moment. We are pleased to share with you an exciting opportunity, to be some of the first to collect new art from this exclusive and extraordinary limited-edition series.
