Black Path (Bunhill Fields), 2013

            Black painted bronze

Playing hopscotch with my daughter on the way to school rekindled an obsession with pavement cracks, dormant since my own childhood. I poured liquid rubber into some of the cracks in a path in Bunhill Fields, a small London cemetery where artist William Blake (1757–1827) and writer Daniel Defoe (c.1660–1731) are buried. When the rubber dried, I could lift up the geography of the city. I cast the captured cracks in bronze, then placed them on steel pins so that they seem to hover just above the floor.

Cornelia Parker
(May – October 2022)

Cornelia Parker is one of Britain's best loved and most acclaimed contemporary artists. Always driven by curiosity, she reconfigures domestic objects to question our relationship with the world. Using transformation, playfulness and storytelling, she engages with important issues of our time, be it violence, ecology or human rights.
The exhibition will bring together such iconic suspended works as Thirty Pieces of Silver 1988–9 and Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View 1991; the immersive War Room 2015 and Magna Carta 2015, her monumental collective embroidery, as well as her films and a wealth of her innovative drawings, prints and photographs. Some works will spill out beyond the confines of the exhibition and infiltrate the permanent collection, in dialogue with the historical works they reference.
