Wayne Hemingway at The Terrace

Wayne Hemingway MBE will officially declare the Terrace open, on Wednesday the 24th of September.

Having started the now worldwide established fashion company Red or Dead from a clothing stall in London’s Camden and Kensington Markets, Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway managed to break into the highly competitive fashion world.

With 21 consecutive London Fashion Week appearances, and three unprecedented prestigious British Fashion Council’s Streetstyle Designer of the Year Awards in 1996, 1997 and 1998, the pair who met at a disco in Burnley, sold the company for a multi-million pound figure to start an affordable and social design business Hemingway Design.

“We fell in to Red or Dead with no money and fell out with lots; but most of all it was a challenge and fantastic fun from beginning to end,” said Wayne. “We like to think that we played a part in removing the stigma from shopping for cool stuff on the high street and paved the way for forward thinkers to put the likes of Top Man and Top Shop before overpriced and over marketed labels.”

Born in 1961, Wayne and Gerardine are now responsible for some of the country’s most stunning and awe inspiring architecture. Completed projects include ‘The Staiths Southbank,’ a sizeable home development site on the banks of the River Tyne in Gateshead, and ‘The Bridge Dartford’, a development of 1000 designer homes in Kent.

Wayne and Gerardine have won a series of high profile awards including Housing Design Awards for the best large project and Building Magazine’s ‘Best Housing-Led Regeneration Project.’

This summer will also see the transformation of an old building on the Boscombe seafront to Hemingway designed ‘Super Surf Pods’ which will accompany Europe’s first artificial surf reef.
Wayne and Gerardine were each awarded an MBE for services to the design industry, in the 2006 Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

The Terrace opening ceremony will take place is the presence of the Mayor of the City Of Lincoln, Councillor Ron Hills and over 100 invited guests.

Mystery In Stone

"MYSTERY IN STONE” an exhibition of premier Zimbabwean stone sculptures will be held at The Terrace, Grantham Street, Lincoln, from 27 October 2008 through 21 November 2008.
This highly expressive contemporary stone art of African artists from Zimbabwe, many from the Shona Tribe, speaks their deep concern, feelings and experiences of the environment around their cultural beliefs.

Zimbabwean stone sculpture is a profound, deeply human expression of the African people that transcends time and space. Sculptors say their ancestors' spirits come in dreams and visions to reveal themselves in images that dwell within the stone. These "voices in stone" can almost be heard through the awe-inspiring sculptures, which tell tales of life in traditional and contemporary works of art. In this way, sculptors release life within the stone and their spirits soar within the collective reality of the African people.

The sculptures are organized around eight themes that represent shared human relationships, emotions and experiences. They represent: The Family, Custom and Legend, Social Comment, The Role of the Elders, The Spirit World, The Role of Women, Village Life, and Nature and Environment:

The exhibition will be open between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday between 28th October and 21st November and additionally between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 15th November. Admission is free.
