Sculpture in the City: Artworks in London's Square Mile alongside the city's historic landmarks

Featuring internationally acclaimed artists such as Sarah Lucas, Thomas J Price, Sean Scully and Nancy Rubins while also introducing three new commissioned works, their artworks will be displayed close to some of London's most famous buildings.

To tie in with celebrations taking place this year to mark the centenary of female suffrage, nine of the artworks have been created by emerging and established female international artists, supported by the City of London Corporation’s Women: Work & Power campaign.

Jyll Bradley's Opening the Air in St Helen's Square is a three-dimensional drawing made up of a field of fluorescent Plexiglas etchings. In a city dominated by glass structures, this work reflects upon the fact that the first "glasshouses" were built for green growth. In Leadenhall Market, Amanda Lwin presents A Worldwide Web of Somewheres, a textile map of the City of London with lines that highlight the underground infrastructure in the City, which follows on from her series Capricious Cartography. Finally, Clare Jarrett will display Sari Garden, a work consisting of lengths of vibrant Indian sari material hanging between Victorian lampposts.

Iwona Blazwick, Director of the Whitechapel Gallery, said: "Sculpture in the City takes us on a cultural safari through the medieval lanes and postmodern plazas of the City of London to encounter some of the most exciting public art being made in the world today."

Launching on 27 June, Sculpture in the City includes City SculptureFest at St Helen’s Piazza on Saturday 30 June where you'll have the opportunity to discover this year’s sculptures with family-friendly tours and trails and take part in an exciting range of activities exploring sculpture and architectural design.
