Monumental
Nov 5, 2025 – Feb 14, 2026
Sunderland, UK
Featuring artworks from the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art collection. Over the last six months artists studying Fine Art at University of Sunderland have explored the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art collection in relation to their own art practices and the thematic and stylistic trends which presented themselves within the collection. Each student selected an artwork from the collection which encapsulated the monumental. Together the seven artworks examine monumental structures, be it public sculptural monuments, giant vapor trails, melting Icelandic glaciers, crystallised desert landscapes, state systems, or the miner’s cage near Easington Colliery.
Artists include Dan Holdsworth, John Kippin, Chad McCail, Vinca Petersen, Mark Pinder, Kelly Richardson and Daniel Silver.
