Lottie..: Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Jaume Plensa

At Yorkshire Sculpture park the Jaume Plensa exhibition was the first I visited, a lot of his work was shown including indoor exhibitions and large sculptures outside that blended nicely with the scenery. Jaume's work is mainly The first room I visited was showing 'Hear no evil,see no evil, speak no evil' where he had three statues hung from the wall made from polyester resin. Each three statues discreetly had different words around the face such as 'anxiety, panic, insomnia'. My favourite part of his work was the interactive ones, 'psalms 29' was situated in the corridor, the idea was to gently stroke your hand across so that they would gently chime. This was a nice peaceful attraction to his exhibition and it would be nice to look into incorporating something similar for my Tapton Grove project. Another interactive display was 'Jerusalem' where there were several gongs placed in a circle and the intention is to gently tap the gongs with other visitors to create a calming noise in the room. Each gong also had a extracts from 'the songs of songs' engraved on them for the visitors to enjoy and read.
