Chris Evans: Gemini Sculpture Park

Description

Following on from his Henry Moore Institute Research Fellowship, Chris Evans explored the ideas behind corporate sculpture production, the power of branding, corporate culture and the 80s' business park through his meetings with managing directors in Leeds. A small red brick office estate on the outskirts of Leeds becomes a corporate sculpture park designed in collaboration with the company directors and visualised through artists' impressions.

This catalogue accompanied the exhibition Chris Evans: Gemini Sculpture Park (27 September 2000 - 07 January 2001, the Upper Sculpture Study Gallery, Leeds Art Gallery), essays, interviews, and exhibition photography:
