Monadic Singularity at Liverpool Cathedral

10 Aug 2024 - 15 Sep 2024

Liverpool Cathedral

To celebrate its centenary in 2024, Liverpool Cathedral is thrilled to present an exciting and UK-first exhibition by the internationally acclaimed sculptor Anish Kapoor.

One of the most innovative and influential artists of our time, Kapoor is renowned for his iconic works, such as Cloud Gate in Chicago and the Orbit Tower at the Olympic Stadium in London. This landmark exhibition, titled ‘Monadic Singularity’, marks the first time Kapoor has presented a solo exhibition in a UK Cathedral and brings his extraordinary art to Liverpool for the first time in over 40 years since his show at the Walker Art Gallery in 1983.

Staged in the spiritual context of the cathedral, where significant moments in life such as birth and death are celebrated and ritualised, Kapoor’s artworks provide connection and inspire awe.

Liverpool Cathedral, the UK’s largest cathedral, provides the perfect backdrop for this profound exploration. Visitors will embark on a journey through the Cathedral’s spaces, including a large-scale installation in the Well, a stunning reminder of our existence on Earth. The exhibition seamlessly integrates with the Cathedral’s gothic architecture, featuring a wax sculpture in the Main Space and work displayed in the Lady Chapel.
