Overview

The Hepworth Wakefield presents its autumn season, 'Conflict and Collisions: New Contemporary Sculpture', comprising three solo exhibitions, each featuring a new, site-specific commission by contemporary artists: Alexandra Bircken, Folkert de Jong and Toby Ziegler. Coinciding with this year’s WW1 commemorations, 'Conflict and Collisions: New Contemporary Sculpture', considers themes of historical and contemporary combat and of man versus machine, juxtaposing handmade and hand-finished objects with mechanical weaponry, state-of-the art digital technologies and 3D printing.
