Beyond Limits modern/contemporary sculpture exhibition

Chatsworth House gardens, Derbyshire

Sept- 2nd Nov

Chatsworth in partnership with Sotheby's have produced this the 3rd selling exhibition of over 20 works from around the world in the idillic setting of Chatsworth House's gardens.

I was really impressed by the diversity amongst the sculptures on display! However, one stood out in particular... the 3ft, 6-ton 'floating' baby, I have never seen anything like it!

Besides the enormity of the sculptures the thing that i took away from the exhibition was the importance of positioning! The baby wouldn't have had any where new as much visual impact if it hadn't been so prominently positioned in front of the main house! This was also the case with all of the other exhibits particularly Love Me, the symmetrical placing of the heart made the piece communicate all the more to the viewer. The open air setting definitly added to the visual impact the sculptures had and I found this consideration of placing was a great thing to take away from the experience and apply to my work in the future.
