      In Network, Thomas J. Price continues his exploration of identity and representation. He creates sculptures that represent people of African descent to disrupt the typified figures shown in classical Roman and Greek art, and to question who we chose to celebrate in artworks.

      Willem Boshoff: Flagstone

      Willem Boshoff’s Flagstone is a sculpture and a seat, positioned here overlooking Upper Lake to provide a space for rest and contemplation. In summer 2018, Boshoff spent a month at YSP, researching and meticulously recording the flora and fauna. Each day he walked the paths around the Park and became particularly fond of the areas around the Lakes. The residency was followed by an exhibition in Upper Space and the subsequent gift of Flagstone as a permanent work for YSP’s landscape.
