Year of Sculpture

Last Friday the Arts team organised a day trip to Winchester to visit two exhibitions that are part of Winchester's 2007 Year of Sculpture. A gang of 10 of us hopped on the minibus and first headed to the 'Rummage' show at Winchester Gallery which featured a selection of drawings by the country's leading contemporary sculptors. We then had lunch along the river and ambled up to the cathedral for the 'Light' exhibition. 'Light' featured seven pieces situated within the magnificent interior of the cathedral, including works by Rachel Whiteread and Marc Quinn. Both exhibitions were really engaging and it was a real treat to see work placed confidently within the space and context of the cathedral building.
Isle of Wight Year of Sculpture anyone...?
