'Sculpture in the Garden:a celebration of the RBS centenary'

In the Botanic Gardens at Leicester, forty two artists from different generations have created sculptures to be sited in this tranquil setting while others have responded to the surroundings, some including objects found on the site. Lorna Green, a site specific and environmental artist, feels that the Botanic Gardens lack a river and she has formed one of local stones and wood while American artist Joan Edlis, has created connecting cylindrical rooms of willow rods that allow visitors to enter and, like Alice in Wonderland, experience shifts in spatial dimensions. Icelandic artist Gudrun Nielsen has assembled a Japanese tea room in the gardens while Sophie Dickens has created wooden tree sculptures which take an upside down view of the world.

Sculpture in the Garden is at the Harold Martin Botanic Gardens, University of Leicester from 9 July – 26 September 2005 and is open every day 10 – 4.

ADMISSION IS FREE

RBS External Exhibition: Sculpture and works on paper by Diane Maclean

Exhibition runs: Thurs 5th May -Sun 6th September

Scottish sculptor and environmental artist Diane Maclean has created a striking outdoor sculpture of stainless steel called Mountain, with accompanying photographic images and works on paper displayed inside the Museum.
Inspired by the work of Natural History Museum scientists, Maclean's work reflects the way scientists try and understand the mineral, molecular and crystal structure of the Earth and beyond.
‘I was fascinated by the beautiful and unusual molecular structures of the minerals they are researching. The collections inspired me to create a sculpture that would truly reflect the structure of the Earth.’
