Modanic Singularity features big, bold sculptures that visitors can step inside.

Liverpool Cathedral is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a unique exhibition by the legendary British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor.

Renowned for his iconic works, such as Cloud Gate in Chicago and the Orbit Tower at the Olympic Stadium in London, this landmark exhibition marks the first time Kapoor has presented a solo exhibition in a UK Cathedral. Bringing his big, bold work to Liverpool for the first time in over 40 years, Kapoor’s ‘Modanic Singularity’ has got everyone talking.

I headed to Liverpool Cathedral in the Georgian Quarter to see the exhibition for myself and to find out what makes Anish Kapoor’s work so unique and impressive.

Featuring works spanning the past 25 years, including architecturally scaled works never before seen in the UK, ’Modanic Singularity’ offers the opportunity to experience a selection of Kapoor's monumental works in dialogue with the incredible cathedral's gothic architecture.

In an era where digital distractions abound, the artworks invite audiences to pause, reflect, and connect with deeper spiritual dimensions - and you can even step inside some of the sculptures.

Elisa Nocente, Curator & Cultural Programme Manager at the cathedral, told LiverpoolWorld it’s “an honour” to host Kapoor’s work, adding: “Having these works in the context of the cathedral, where significant moments in life such as birth and death are celebrated can provide a different experience of the artworks.”

This landmark show, which runs until Sunday, 15 September, is a highlight in Liverpool Cathedral's year-long centenary celebrations, commemorating its consecration in 1924. Find out more by watching the full video above.
