Hiorns, Roger
In 2011, Roger Hiorns gifted his 2008 Artangel/Jerwood commission Seizure to the Arts Council Collection. The work was created using 75,000 litres of liquid copper sulphate, pumped into a former Southwark council flat to create a strangely beautiful crystalline growth on the walls, floor, ceiling and bath of the abandoned dwelling. Adam Khan Architects have created a new enclosure for the work which, in Yorkshire Sculpture Park's historic Bothy Garden, offers a strikingly different context for this cult work, accessible again for the first time since 2010.
Seizure, 2008/2013 was donated to the Arts Council Collection by the artist, Artangel and the Jerwood Charitable Foundation through the Art Fund, with the support of The Henry Moore Foundation.
