exhibition · 2026-04-26

Anish Kapoor presents 'Monadic Singularity', his first exhibition at Liverpool Cathedral, the largest cathedral in Britain and fifth largest in the world, from August 10 to September 15, 2024. Curated by Elisa Nocente, the show reflects on birth, marriage, and death, leading visitors through chapels and spaces featuring a large-scale installation in the well, a wax sculpture in the Lady Chapel, and works from the last 25 years, some never before exhibited in England. The cathedral, built between 1904 and 1978 by Giles Gilbert Scott in neo-Gothic style, has hosted contemporary art by Tracey Emin, Craigie Aitchison, Elisabeth Frink, Christopher Le Brun, and Adrian Wiszniewski. Nocente, head of the cultural program, calls it an honor that Kapoor chose to collaborate, noting his unique visual language spanning painting, sculpture, and architecture that evokes wonder and unease.
