DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture takes an ambitious and challenging look at the rich history of modern and contemporary sculpture, presenting major works of art from the Tate Collection across two floors of the Gallery.

The display is divided into three sections: 'Sculpture: The Physical World' on the first floor, 'Sculpture Remixed' and 'Performing Sculpture' on the second. Each section has been developed collaboratively by Tate Liverpool curators and leading cultural figures from a range of disciplines, each invited to bring their own unique vision to sculpture in the Collection.

Artist Michael Craig-Martin, designer Wayne Hemingway and his son Jack, and artist, theatre director and writer Tim Etchells have worked with curators to select artworks and device radical new contexts in which to show the. Filmmaker Mike Figgis is producing a series of short films featuring public responses to a number of the works. The films, shot in locations outside of Tate Liverpool, will be screened in the galleries throughout the year.
