Has anyone been to ‘The Sculpture of Language’, a current exhibition curated by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy at the Tate Liverpool? It’s one of the three parts of the DLA Piper series ‘This is Sculpure’ (the other two are ‘Sculpture: The Physical World’ and ‘Sculpture Remixed’), each of which has been developed by Tate curators alongside leading cultural figures from a range of disciplines. From the Tate collection Duffy has chosen works from 1699 to the present day which engage in some way with written words, including pieces by David Kindersley, Eric Gill, Sonia Delauney, and Salvador Dali. Duffy has contributed a specially-written sonnet, ‘POETRY’, to the exhibition too. More can be read about ‘The Sculpture of Language’ here. I’m interested in how this kind of exhibition investigates the ways in which artists working with different media respond to words and language, and invites us to reconsider text in the context of other art forms. If you’re in Liverpool during the next few months, this certainly looks worth a visit.
