Press Release Press Release Angelica Vanasse has been appointed the new Head of Learning at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) in Wakefield, Yorkshire. YSP is one of the finest places in Europe to experience modern and contemporary sculpture in the open air. Welcoming around 500,000 visitors every year to enjoy and experience art, heritage and the landscape with over 40,000 people engaging with our learning programmes. Vanasse began her career as a gallery educator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston while studying art education and fine art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in affiliation with Tufts University, Massachusetts. Committed to creating programming in collaboration with and for diverse audiences and embedding opportunities for underrepresented voices to be amplified and heard, she has led on researching and developing learning programmes, resources and events in a variety of cultural and educational settings in the US and UK. These include the Walker Art Gallery, the International Slavery Museum, the Lady Lever Art Gallery and most recently as the Lead for Young People & Adults as part of the Learning and Participation team at National Museums Liverpool. Vanasse said “YSP brings together so many of the things that have inspired my own creative practice – artists exploring sculpture and landscape, a sense of spaciousness within the environment, the relationship between humans and the landscape and high-quality opportunities for a wide range of people to engage with art. It is with excitement that I will be taking up this role, looking forward to collaborating with the teams at YSP to further develop and expand the brilliant learning programme, looking forward to the potential that lies ahead.” Clare Lilley, Director of Programme, said: “For almost 45 years education and audience engagement has informed every area of work at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, helping make it accessible and meaningful to two generations of people in the region and far beyond. The Head of Learning is a crucial role and we are absolutely delighted to welcome Angelica Vanasse to YSP. Not only does she bring powerful academic and practical art credentials, but she is a lover of the natural world and clearly delights in this unique environment so will express her passion to those with whom she comes into contact. We look forward to seeing Angelica build on YSP’s impressive Learning foundations and take it in new and exciting directions.” Ends PRESS INQUIRIES Hannah Pearson / [email protected] Download images at ysp.org.uk/media LISTINGS INFORMATION Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Bretton, Wakefield WF4 4LG Near Wakefield and Barnsley – M1 Junction 38 +44 (0)1924 832631 | ysp.org.uk Open seven days a week, except Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Pre-booking essential via www.ysp.org.uk SOCIAL MEDIA Twitter: @YSPsculpture Instagram: @YSPsculpture NOTES TO EDITORS ABOUT YORKSHIRE SCULPTURE PARK Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is one of the finest places in Europe to experience modern and contemporary sculpture in the open air.

We do not tolerate discrimination in any form and are proactive in our programme, policies and behaviours to address inequalities locally, nationally and internationally. We recognise that economic, social and cultural disadvantage is complex and intersectional and shape our activity accordingly. Diversity and equality are crucial to the arts because they release the true potential of our nation’s artistic talent – from every background. At YSP, we support Arts Council England’s mission – great art and culture for everyone. We share ACE’s commitment to promote and embed diversity in our workforce and cultural programme. This is called the ‘Creative Case for Diversity’. .

  • KAWS Media Release
    KAWS Media release 6 February–12 June 2016 Longside Gallery and open air Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) presents the first UK museum exhibition by KAWS, the renowned American artist, whose practice includes painting, sculpture, printmaking and design. The exhibition, in the expansive Longside Gallery and open air, features over 20 works: commanding sculptures in bronze, fibreglass, aluminium and wood alongside large, bright canvases immaculately rendered in acrylic paint – some created especially for the exhibition. The Park’s historically designed landscape becomes home to a series of monumental and imposing sculptures, including a new six-metre-tall work, which take KAWS’s idiosyncratic form of almost-recognisable characters in the process of growing up. Brooklyn-based KAWS is considered one of the most relevant artists of his generation. His influential work engages people across the generations with contemporary art and especially opens popular culture to young and diverse audiences. A dynamic cultural force across art, music and fashion, KAWS’s work possesses a wry humour with a singular vernacular marked by bold gestures and fastidious production. In the 1990s, KAWS conceived the soft skull with crossbones and crossed-out eyes which would become his signature iconography, subverting and abstracting cartoon figures. He stands within an art historical trajectory that includes artists such as Claes Oldenburg and Jeff Koons, developing a practice that merges fine art and merchandising with a desire to communicate within the public realm. Initially through collaborations with global brands, and then in his own right, KAWS has moved beyond the sphere of the art market to occupy a unique position of international appeal.

Following the success of the artist’s first UK museum exhibition in YSP’s Longside Gallery and the open air, the six sculptures – SMALL LIE (2013), GOOD INTENTIONS (2015), AT THIS TIME (2013), BETTER KNOWING (2013), FINAL DAYS (2013) and ALONG THE WAY (2013) – will continue to be seen in the Lower Park, beyond the exhibition’s official end date of 12 June 2016. Outdoors, with their outsize and monumental proportions, KAWS’s sculptures bring to mind dystopian cartoon characters; recognisable personalities from childhood who appear to have lost their innocence. Against the Park’s tree line, the group of six works in natural and black-stained wood, measuring between three and 10 metres in height, are simultaneously spectacular and plaintive. Once bright, iconic characters are rendered in disheartened, world-weary Images, left to right: poses; imposing yet full of pathos, they point to an array of psychological SMALL LIE (2013) courtesy the artist, narratives, suggesting compassion, surprise and despair.
