The exhibition features over 30 vibrant works from the period 2002 – 2013 including sculpture, film, photography, painting and collage etc. It was held on the 27th of June 2013 and held at auditorium at 10.00 with a fee of adults at £40.00 and concessions at £20.00 (under the age of 16). When you bought a ticket for the event you automatically got a 10% discount to spend on the day in the YSP shop, resturant, or cafe, even though lunch was not included in with the tickect. Yink Shonibare's exhibition had it's own catalogue at the age of at £15.00. Her exhibition featured Wind Sculptures and six metre-high fibre glass forms in batik designs.Revoloutins kids was also featured in the exhibition take more of a political turn with batik-clad figures with foxes heads, which is based on the Arab Spring and the riots that happened in London, and how the police were suprised by the power of social media. The golden gun is a replica of the one found with Colonel Gaddafi, when he was capture in libya. The significance of the fox head is that aristocracy who hunt down the fox.
The health and safety considerations are that there probably was rope round the sculpture so that the people walking round the sculptures will not harm the sculptures. There was probably no food and drink allowed at the exhibition so that the sculptures do not get effected and damaged in anyway. Guards in the room for sculptures so that they can make sure there is no one trying to harm or dismantel the sculptures in the exhibition.
