SERPENTINE KICKSTARTS SUMMER PROGRAMME WITH NEW PUBLIC SCULPTURE BY JESÚS RAFAEL SOTO
At Serpentine South 16 June to 25 October 2026. Please RSVP to: [email protected]
Summer programme sponsored by Kenneth C. Griffin – Griffin Catalyst
Serpentine South, Pénétrable BBL Jaune (1999; 2023 Edition) will be on show from 16 June to 25 October 2026.This is the first outdoor presentation of the artist’s work in the UK. Art situated in the park has become central to Serpentine’s year-round activities, extending its exhibitions beyond the gallery walls and into the surrounding landscape.
Pénétrable BBL Jaune (1999; 2023 Edition) exemplifies the artist’s lifelong interest in movement, space and tactility. Born in Venezuela in 1923, SOTO became one of the leading exponents of kinetic art and created more than seventy Pénétrable sculptures of various sizes and colours throughout his seven-decade long career: works composed of metal rods and nylon strands suspended in space through which viewers are invited to enter.
