Heft: Weight and Touch in Contemporary Sculpture

24 September - 14 November 2010
Now showing at The Gallery, Winchester Discovery Centre, Jewry Street, Winchester, SO23 8SB

"How much does a sculpture weigh? And if we cannot lift it, if we cannot even touch it, how important is its weight to the way it looks and the way we understand it?"

Heft is an exhibition of a dozen challenging sculptures by contemporary artists, selected by sculptor Tony Hayward. It examines the significance of weight, density, and tactile qualities, in what are primarily visual objects.

The project is a collaboration between Winchester Discovery Centre, Hampshire Sculpture Trust and Winchester School of Art.
