52 Weeks of Art is an annual artist led public art project in Lichfield and its surrounding area, which has been developed to increase opportunities to produce, view, engage with and experience the visual arts. This will be achieved by developing and exhibiting new artwork, placing artwork in areas where access is limited and by stimulating debate through interaction with the visual arts in its many manifestations.

The Sound Of Mary Magdalene

by 52 Weeks of Art Email

A new sculpture entitled The Sound of Mary Magdalen is to be seen in Lichfield for the first time in March. The display as part of the ongoing developments of the 52 Weeks of Art Project will see the sculpture at Lichfield Cathedral for a 2 week period from March the 18th. The sculpture is a powerful depiction of human emotion. The display in March sees the sculpture accompanied by a unique sound artwork. The work has been produced as a direct response to the sculpture, with the Composer David Harper, using the sculpture as a catalyst for the production of the accompanying sound piece.
