Andy Goldsworthy at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park

In a break from the usual photography and new media exhibitions and installations I usually go to see, yesterday I decided to go check out new work from Andy Goldsworthy at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Exhibition generously sponsored by Roger Evans with support from The Henry Moore Foundation.
This extraordinary exhibition brings together an unprecedented range of work by Andy Goldsworthy, forming the largest and most ambitious project ever curated at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Revealing the breadth and direction of Goldsworthy's most recent work, the exhibition features new permanent outdoor commissions, new indoor stone, tree and clay installations, together with sheep paintings and blood drawings in the Longside Gallery. The works are given meaningful context by photographic archive material and key works from the artist's career. By charting significant and developing themes, the exhibition provides an opportunity to reassess the range of Goldsworthy's achievements and the scale and complexity of his work.

This wasn't the first time i'd visited the sculpture park. Its actually one of my favourite exhibition centers in the country. I think the indoor gallery spaces are set out in a clean, minimal and most importantly naturally lit in a purpose built building. I also love the long walks between pieces in the outdoor areas, a lot of the work is site specific and is generally very sympathetic to the countryside surroundings of the work.

Andy Goldworthy's new work for this exhibition all has thorough information on how the pieces were created, and documenting their existence in the spaces which they are left. I thought this was a really nice touch because at times the work could be quite confusing, in a sense that it could have almost disappeared at some locations and I didn't feel like I was getting a full picture of what had gone into the work and from that I've picked up a few new ideas about how to document my work. A series of photo's taken at monthly intervals were great, and very well shot.
