Photos from the preview evening of The Hepworth Gallerys' spring programme, for arts and sculpture interested bloggers. (Note the tour took place while exhibits were still being installed - so some photos may include equipment, floor protection etc).

This is the room containing work by Heather and Ivan Morison - a collection of objects, performance and puppetry, drawn on the life and work of British novelist Anna Kavan. There is a narrated soundtrack of 3 voices, emanating from the glowing helium-filled balloon at one side of the room, and marionettes manipulated by gallery staff - quite looking forward to seeing this one properly when the exhibition starts!

The Hepworth is in the running for the Art Fund prize 2012 for museums and galleries - why not give them a vote - the money would make a world of difference in these austere times! (Tho i'm slightly torn - being a computer programmer i'm drawn towards Bletchly Park also :-s )

This is a portrait of one of the Artists - Ben Rivers - the gallery is showing his award-winning post-apocalyptic science-fiction film 'slow motion'.
One of the spaces within the gallery has been quite extensively blacked out, and a small sound-proofed projection booth installed to display the film.

Unfortunate timing meant we arrived in the room just as the film was finishing, so no photo showing off a still from the film - looked interesting so we'll be returning to see it properly - it runs on the hour for 45 minutes throughout the day.
While the film was being re-loaded on the projector I noticed some nice light being reflected through the projection room glass, so asked Ben if he'd mind posing for a photo - quite happy with the result :-)

This is the room containing work by David Thorpe, presented for the first time in Europe.
The sculptures and paintings explore his interest in ancient craftsmanship and labour-intensive artisan techniques - everything is hand-crafted, and all the leaf motifs are largely non-repeating.

Installation in The Hepworth's entrance by the local Neon Workshops. "No More I Love Yours" was a series of monthly neon statements around love, visible from the east coast main line as you approached wakefield train station. The series ends this valentines day, where the un-sold remaining statements will be auctioned off. Love neon - i'm quite tempted to do one of their workshops :-)
