Nigel Hall: Sculpture & Drawing 1965–2008
– Peter Murray Gallery, OutdoorsAbout Nigel Hall: Sculpture & Drawing 1965–2008
This major exhibition presented a new assessment of Hall’s career over a 40-year period, during which time he developed a practice preoccupied with landscape and refined mark-making in space: an exploration of edge and shadow, and of spatial interval.
The exhibition featured large-scale sculptures for both the Underground Gallery and the open air, together with drawings ranging from early, small figurative representations, to very large abstract works made in recent years.
Sculptures included painted aluminium wall works made in the 1970s and 1980s, large free-standing bronzes from the 1980s and 1990s, alongside Hall’s more recent, highly precise wooden and corten steel constructions. The outdoor spaces featured Crossing (Horizontal) and Crossing (Vertical), two major corten steel sculptures from 2006.

Nigel Hall: Crossing (Horizontal)
- Art Outdoors

Serge Spitzer: Untitled
The sculpture creates, encloses and protects its own interior, which can be glimpsed through the spaces held open by rubber pads. Spitzer chose to reflect upon the character and history of the location for his sculpture and to encourage active looking and questioning. It is not immediately clear if the beam emerges from, or supports, the quarry face. When seen from different angles, the sculpture creates different senses of stability and balance, of open and closed spaces. - News
