Did you catch the newly-reformed
@themaccabees headlining The Park stage at
@glastofest ?
In 2022, The Hepworth Wakefield commissioned The Maccabees' lead singer
@orlandoweeks - alongside BAFTA-nominated animator Marcus Armitage
@marcusanimation - to create an animation inspired by Barbara Hepworth's art and life. The amimation, Something Out of Nothing, features a voice over by Maxine Peake
@betteblavatsky .
'For as long as I can remember having any interest at all in art I have loved Hepworth’s work. To the pipsqueak me, there was something fantastically unfussy and satisfying about these huge, dino-skeletal, climbing frame-esque sculptures. In many ways I still feel the same about them now.' Orlando Weeks, 2022

While you’re here…
Barbara Hepworth’s Sculpture with Colour (Oval Form) Pale Blue and Red (1943) is at risk of being lost overseas unless £3.8m can be raised to buy it for Wakefield’s permanent art collection. The Hepworth Wakefield and
@artfund can only save and display this work in the city in which Hepworth was born and brought up with support from you.
Follow the 🔗 in bio to find out how you can help us save Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture for everyone. Thank you for your support.
