An illuminating evening at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, near Wakefield, is holding a rare opportunity to visit the park at night to see Spanish artist Jaume Plensa’s outdoor works illuminated.
Book now to make sure you’re one of the 25 people at the event on 26th November 2011.
This extraordinary body of new and recent work by renowned Spanish artist Jaume Plensa is exhibiting until January 2012 and is worth a daytime visit at least. But for a mere £30 per adult, you could enjoy an exclusive curator-led tour with YSP director Sarah Coulson of the Underground Gallery, dinner and the rare opportunity to see outdoor works Spiegel and La Llarga Nit beautifully illuminated in the landscape.
Encouraging tactile and sensory exploration, this vibrant exhibition of Plensa’s work includes a 50-metre curtain of poetry made of suspended steel letters, large illuminated sculptures in the landscape, and engraved gongs that visitors can strike to fill the gallery with sound.
For dinner, an out-of-hours guided tour and a one-off event at the very special Yorkshire Sculpture Park, we think £30 is a bargain. And what a lovely experience if you’re celebrating a special occasion.
The sculpture is absolutely beautiful!
