Iconic artist, Anish Kapoor, returns after a 40 years hiatus with ‘Monadic Singularity’, a monumental exhibition, commemorating Liverpool Cathedral’s centenary. The exhibition features the UK debut of Kapoor’s astounding sculpture ‘Sectional Body Preparing for Monadic Singularity’ along with a showcase of his work from the past 25 years.
The exhibition is set in the spiritual context of the cathedral bringing forth themes of birth, death and marriage – reflective of Kapoor’s work, which explores the intersection of the physical and metaphysical world. The gothic architecture provides a complementary backdrop to the exhibition which takes visitors on a journey from the Well to the Main Space, through to the Lady Chapel and Ambulatory.
‘This geometric, concave work does not reflect images like a typical mirror… instead it turns the world upside down, inverting and transforming the surrounding environment Spire points upwards towards the sky and infinity, placed in our Cathedral’s chancel , this amplifies it’s spiritual dimension pointing to something beyond ourselves,’ Liverpool Cathedral (via Instagram)
The exhibition runs from 10 August 2024 until 15 September 2024.
