About Nick Crowe

In 2001, YSP commissioned a new exhibition, presenting a rare opportunity to see the work of talented contemporary artist Nick Crowe.

In the Bothy Gallery, 12 flip charts displayed Crowe’s drawings. Each chart combined a graph representing one month’s financial trading on the Nasdaq financial index, with a landscape. The Nasdaq is concerned with technology stocks and trades taking place via a computer and telecommunications network.

This pairing of landscape with the world of commerce creates a timely and thought-provoking reflection on our contemporary world.

    James Turrell: Deer Shelter Skyspace

    The Deer Shelter Skyspace creates a place of contemplation and revelation, harnessing the changing light of the Yorkshire sky. It allows us to take time to sit, to think, and to contemplate; an open invitation to access a peacefulness that is often denied in our busy lives that abound with technology and speed.

    Marialuisa Tadei: Octopus

    Octopus (Polipo) is formed of hand-cut, coloured glass tiles which are carefully pieced together over the concrete and steel structure. It is a key example of Tadei’s use of mosaic to elevate everyday forms into a more ethereal realm.
