Jaume Plensa at YSP


If you live near Wakefield , Yorkshire (UK) you may want to go visit the Yorskhire Sculpture Park which presents some works by Spanish artist Jaume Plena. The exhibition 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. OK, the sculptures and all are really cool, but you can even play a damn gong!! I'd go just for that. You'll be able to visit it until 22.01.12. Click read more to see the other works (gongs included) and a video of the installation process.

    @-E-
    didn't know that about gongs. Well I suppose they won't let people crack them so easily... But thanks anyway, I'll keep that in mind next time I hit a gong!

    In San Benedetto del Tronto, along the sea, there is a place made all by big stones, a sort of border of a port, and all those stones are sculpture made by unknown artist, ok nothing like that park, but they are still nice.
