Assemble, Fibredog, 2025
Presented by Plinth
Assemble is a London-based collective working at the intersection of art, architecture and social practice. Their work is grounded in collaboration, often engaging communities in acts of building and shaping shared space.
Fibredog is a figurative structure made from trees, wood, thatch and branches, materials collected from the park itself and its surroundings, bound together in a ritual of construction. It recalls ancient seasonal markers and folkloric effigies, standing somewhere between sculpture and communal offering.
At once playful and uncanny, Fibredog occupies a shifting space between creature and structure, gathering place and monument. Installed during the festival of Samhain, which marks the beginning of the ‘darker half of the year’, it is a sculpture in seasonal flux.
The form evokes questions: is it animate or inert, a decoy or an altar, a point of protest or worship? It invites encounter rather than resolution. Assemble imagine it as a stake in the ground, one that people might return to with their own meanings, their own rituals.
Recent projects by Assemble include the Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art in London and Granby Workshop, a community-led rebuilding of terraced housing in Liverpool. Their work spans spatial practice, social design and speculative construction.
