Media Release Media release ARTS COUNCIL FUNDING SECURED FOR A NEW ADDITIONAL New visitor centre at YSP, VISITOR CENTRE AT YORKSHIRE SCULPTURE PARK entrance perspective view (artists impression) Following the news of a successful planning application on 18 February 2016, Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) has secured £1.7million funding from Arts Council England to realise an ambitious new £3.8million visitor centre. The proposed centre, due for completion in late 2017, has also received generous support from the Garfield Weston Foundation and The Foyle Foundation. An on-going fundraising campaign will raise the remaining £1.7million required to deliver the project. Designed by London-based architects Feilden Fowles, recently named BD Young Architect of the Year 2016, the centre will build capacity at the award-winning visitor attraction in Wakefield, West Yorkshire which attracts over 500,000 people every year. Michelle Dickson, Director North, Arts Council England, says: “Yorkshire Sculpture Park continues to go from strength to strength, and makes an outstanding contribution to the visual arts in England. With visitor numbers growing year on year, the development of its new visitor centre will provide improved facilities for the public, and more exhibition space. I’m delighted that we’ve been able to help support this project and look forward to seeing its development.” Peter Murray CBE, Executive and Founding Director of YSP, says: “We are delighted to have the backing of Arts Council England. The new visitor centre is a reflection of our ambition to increase long-term resilience and sustainability by building audiences, further developing our artistic programme, and increasing visitor income. “In our 40th anniversary year, the centre will provide an important new element to our physical infrastructure, bringing together all of the successful elements of previous developments. It will provide a platform to sustain and increase visitor numbers over the next decade, offering exciting new artistic experiences for the public to enjoy, whilst boosting our commercial income, providing sustainability in the long term as reductions in public funding continue to take effect.” NOTES TO EDITORS ABOUT THE NEW VISITOR CENTRE The centre will enhance visitor experience and security at the southern entrance to the Park, less than one mile away from M1 junction 38, and contribute to YSP’s long-term financial sustainability. The environmentally friendly building has been designed to make minimum impact on the site and, in common with previous YSP developments, to fit sympathetically with the historic landscape. It will comprise a 140m2 restaurant, 125m2 gallery space, an 80m2 public foyer and a 50m2 shop. A world-class gallery space will give visitors access to some of the greatest art of the 20th and 21st centuries through a changing programme of temporary exhibitions. The centre will also increase physical, intellectual and emotional access to the landscape, ecology and heritage of the historic 500-acre Bretton Estate, as well as the sculpture presented elsewhere in the Park. The new restaurant will continue to offer visitors high quality service while a new shop will extend YSP’s successful retail operation, providing opportunities for both artists and designers. The building will be well insulated and naturally ventilated, featuring an air-source heat pump for heating and a dense green roof. It will incorporate a pioneering low energy environmental control system using a passive humidity buffer to maintain favourable conditions in the gallery. The project will complete a series of developments at YSP that began with the opening of Longside Gallery in 2001, the main visitor centre in 2002, the introduction of the Underground Gallery in 2005, the transformation of the estate Kennel Block into the Rushbond Learning Centre and café in 2011, and most recently the refurbishment of the Chapel in 2014. ABOUT YORKSHIRE SCULPTURE PARK Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is the leading international centre for modern and contemporary sculpture. It is an independent charitable trust and registered museum (number 1067908) situated in the 500-acre, 18th-century Bretton Hall estate in West Yorkshire.

  • 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.

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.

  • Major New Sculpture Festival Announces Programme Details
    PRESS RELEASE YORKSHIRE SCULPTURE INTERNATIONAL: MAJOR NEW SCULPTURE FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES PROGRAMME DETAILS 25 February 2019 Yorkshire Sculpture International (YSI) is pleased to announce programme details for the inaugural edition taking place across Yorkshire this summer from 22 June until 29 September 2019. YSI, the UK’s largest dedicated sculpture festival, will feature major public commissions in outdoor spaces across Leeds and Wakefield and exhibitions at each of the four partner venues – Henry Moore Institute, Leeds Art Gallery, The Hepworth Wakefield and Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Featuring 15 international artists from 12 different countries, the programme will bring together artists who share an interest in harnessing the cultural histories and physical properties of the materials they use. New commissions and exhibitions will respond to a provocation made by artist Phyllida Barlow in 2018 – that ‘sculpture is the most anthropological of the artforms’. Highlights will include a new commission by Rashid Johnson at the Henry Moore Institute, and rarely-seen sculptures by preeminent Abstract Expressionist sculptor David Smith at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The Hepworth Wakefield will present a series of large-scale installations including new work by Wolfgang Laib and Tau Lewis’ first exhibition in the UK. Leeds Art Gallery will present ambitious new collection displays, a series of solo presentations and new commissions by artists including Nobuko Tsuchiya. In addition, commissions by Ayşe Erkmen, Huma Bhabha and Tarek Atoui will liven the public realm in Wakefield and Leeds. COMMISSIONS Huma Bhabha (b. 1962, Pakistan), will site her first public realm commission in the UK in central Wakefield. Working almost entirely with figurative sculpture, Bhabha’s approach is unconventional and cross-cultural, making connections between histories, languages and civilisations.

  • Yorkshire Sculpture Park
    Katrina Palmer: The Coffin Jump Media Release NEW CO-COMMISSION BY KATRINA PALMER TO BE UNVEILED AT YORKSHIRE SCULPTURE PARK From Saturday 16 June 2018 This summer, a new work by UK contemporary artist Katrina Palmer will be unveiled at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary, and YSP, The Coffin Jump takes as a point of departure the role of an extraordinary group of women in the First World War. Combining sculpture, soundtrack and performance, The Coffin Jump symbolises the new freedoms afforded to women in the war, with specific reference to the all-female First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY). Founded in 1907, Captain Edward Baker’s conception of the FANY was of women on horseback riding to the rescue of fallen men in the battlefield. Although the FANY ultimately drove motored ambulances, their role was and continues to be as powerfully independent and transformative as this original vision. At YSP, visitors will see an intervention in the historic deer park, comprising an inscribed fence above a trench. This negative horizon, a line that cuts across the landscape and descends into a shallow depression, resonates with the trench as a site of mortality but also new beginnings as the woman on horseback cheats death. In spite of the nurses’ courage, the British Army initially refused to be associated with the liberated women of the FANY. So instead they supported the French and Belgian armies, running hospitals and driving ambulances. Palmer makes reference to their The Coffin Jump (artist impression).

Audiencing artscapes: Encounters between art and audience at Yorkshire Sculpture Park Saskia Warren Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 Department of Geography University of Sheffield Abstract This thesis explores the ways in which the meanings of site art are inscribed by different audiences and their spatially contingent processes of audiencing. Theoretically and empirically it suggests the importance of the verb ‘audiencing’ over the static noun ‘audience’ to activate the dynamic processes involved in the production of art’s meaning. The thesis is based upon qualitative research undertaken over one year spent at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire. It tailors archival, ethnographic and visual methodologies to address how examples of site art within their spatial context are audienced from a range of roles and positionalities. Audiencing is shown to occur non- linearly, with meaning inscribed variously during the processes of making, installation and exhibiting. Each chapter explores different facets of the relationship between site, art and audience, tracing the histories, discourses and situated knowledges that shape the meanings of the sculpture park and its art.
