LIVERPOOL.- To celebrate its centenary in 2024, Liverpool Cathedral will present an exciting and UK-first exhibition by the internationally acclaimed sculptor Anish Kapoor.
One of the most innovative and influential artists of our time, Kapoor is renowned for his iconic works, such as Cloud Gate in Chicago and the Orbit Tower at the Olympic Stadium in London. This landmark exhibition, titled Monadic Singularity, marks the first time Kapoor has presented a solo exhibition in a UK Cathedral and brings his extraordinary art to Liverpool for the first time in over 40 years since his show at the Walker Art Gallery in 1983.
Staged in the spiritual context of the cathedral, where significant moments in life such as birth and death are celebrated and ritualised, Kapoors artworks provide connection and inspire awe.
Liverpool Cathedral, the UKs largest cathedral, provides the perfect backdrop for this profound exploration. Visitors will embark on a journey through the Cathedrals spaces, including a large-scale installation in the Well, a stunning reminder of our existence on Earth. The exhibition seamlessly integrates with the Cathedrals gothic architecture, featuring a wax sculpture in the Main Space and work displayed in the Lady Chapel.
This exhibition showcases works created over the past 25 years, some of which have never been displayed in the UK, making it a must-see event that will undoubtedly enrich Liverpools artistic heritage. This is a historical moment for Liverpool Cathedral and the city itself, offering a rare opportunity to experience the work of one of the most notable and inspiring artists globally. Adding to the excitement, the Cathedral will host exclusive late-night openings, featuring trips up the Tower and refreshments from the Welsford Bistro.
Monadic Singularity is a highlight of Liverpool Cathedrals centenary celebrations, which also include a Peoples Service in July to commemorate the 100th anniversary of its Consecration in 1924.
Hear from our Community:
The Very Revd Dr Dean Sue Jones, Dean of Liverpool said of this unmissable occasion As we celebrate 100 years since this Cathedral was consecrated for prayer and worship, it is great to welcome an iconic artist to our iconic building. The Cathedral speaks of itself as a place of Encounter, and we hope that people will come and encounter the art of Anish Kapoor in our magnificent space.
We are a modern Cathedral that works with many contemporary artists, and we are delighted that Kapoor is displaying his magnificent art in this centenary year, in our Cathedral built for the people, by the people, to the Glory of God.
Paul Smith, Director of Enterprise at Liverpool Cathedral added In the last 5 or 6 years, weve worked very hard to bring an exciting array of cultural programming to the cathedral. For 2024, our centenary year, we wanted to take the programme up a notch or two and bring one of the worlds most significant contemporary artists here, to say a massive thank you to our worshippers and visitors.
Elisa Nocente, Head of Cultural Programme at Liverpool Cathedral and curator of the exhibition stated It is an honour that Anish Kapoor has chosen to collaborate with Liverpool Cathedral in this landmark year. As one of the leading figures in contemporary art, he distinguishes himself by a unique visual language that embraces painting, sculpture, and architectural forms. Provoking both wonder and uneasiness, Kapoors artworks transcend their materiality; we hope that they will resonate on a deeply physical and emotional level for our audiences.
