From 1 May 2009 leading cultural figures from
different disciplines will be displaying their own unique take on
sculpture as part of DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture, at Tate
Liverpool.
Transforming the first and second floor galleries
are artist Michael Craig-Martin; designer Wayne Hemingway and his
son Jack; and artist, director and writer Tim Etchells.
Film director Mike Figgis is also producing a
series of short films where members of the public will be filmed
responding to works of art from the Tate Collection when situated
in unusual locations around Liverpool.
The co-curators' sculpture displays have been
selected in conjunction with Tate Liverpool curators and feature
masterpieces from the Tate Collection by artists such as Pablo
Picasso, Fernand Léger, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth,
alongside recent acquisitions of contemporary art by Sarah Lucas,
Jim Lambie and Terence Koh, among others.
