Major exhibition announced for Liverpool Cathedral's centenary

Liverpool Cathedral is set to celebrate its 100th anniversary with a unique exhibition by British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor.

Titled Monadic Singularity, this exhibition marks Kapoor’s first major solo exhibition in Liverpool since his seminal 1983 exhibit at the Walker Art Gallery.

The exhibit will transform Liverpool Cathedral’s spaces with scaled installations of Kapoor's artwork from the past 25 years, including some that have never been seen before.

Paul Smith, director of enterprise at Liverpool Cathedral, said: “In the last six years, we've worked very hard to bring an exciting array of cultural programming to the cathedral. For 2024, our centenary year, we wanted to take the programme up a notch or two and bring one of the world's most significant contemporary artists here, to say a massive thank you to our worshippers and visitors."

The exhibition opens to the public on Saturday, August 10, and runs until Sunday, September 15. Tickets will be available for exclusive late-night viewings at the cathedral which include a special tour of the show.

More information, including how to purchase tickets for the late-night events, can be found on the Liverpool Cathedral website.
