First of its kind, subterranean exhibition of contemporary sculpture in the extraordinary environment of Clearwell Caves in the Forest of Dean.
About
Although Art as we know it started deep underground, caves have not, until now, been used as a venue for contemporary sculpture.
International in scope and with subjects and materials chosen to complement this unique environment, ‘Back to the Cave’ references the history of cave art, prehistoric cave dwellers and the more recent uses of caves.
We envisage this exhibition as a new way of experiencing contemporary sculpture outside the confines of the white-walled gallery and we hope to evoke an atmosphere akin to that of the prehistoric era with atmospheric lighting providing a fresh and exciting way to see sculpture.
‘Back to the Cave’ includes 60 pieces of sculpture by 47 international artists:
Anthony Abrahams, Kenneth Armitage, Bruce Beasley, Nick Bibby, Hamish Black, Ralph Brown, Jon Buck, Halima Cassell, Daniel Chadwick, Lynn Chadwick, Ann Christopher, Geoffrey Clarke, Mat Collishaw, Michael Cooper, Terence Coventry, Geoffrey Dashwood, Abigail Fallis, Sue Freeborough, George Fullard, Maggi Hambling, Damien Hirst, John Hoskin, Steve Hurst, Michael Joo, Jonathan Kenworthy, Jonathan Kingdon, Anders Krisár, Sarah Lucas, David Mach, Susie MacMurray, Anita Mandl, Charlotte Mayer, Polly Morgan,
Eilis O’Connell, Isaac Okwir, Peter Oloya, Eduardo Paolozzi, Pangolin Designs, Hans-Ulrich Pauly, Tom Price, Peter Randall-Page, STIK, Tavares Strachan, Almuth Tebbenhoff, William Tucker, Deborah van der Beek, Jason Wason.
