Shadows of the Wanderer, Chichester Cathedral. 16th July – 14th November 2016.
The Cathedral will host Ana Maria Pacheco’s outstanding and powerful installation Shadows of the Wanderer. This is a multi-piece figurative sculpture in polychromed wood, in which ten over life-size darkly robed figures witness the struggle of a young man to carry an older man on this shoulders. The figures of the young man burdened by the old suggest a reference to the beginning of Virgil’s Aeneid, where the hero Aeneas carries his lame father Anchises out of the burning city of Troy. It also evokes the plight of refugees fleeing places of destruction in our own day. Free entry. More information via the link above, including details of related talks.
Southern Ceramic Group Exhibition, The Bishop’s Kitchen, Chichester. 30th July – 14th August.
10am – 5pm, daily. The Bishop’s Kitchen is adjacent to the Cathedral.
