Saints Alive
November 4, 2014 - March 8, 2015
Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, Mexico City
Michael Landy: Saints Alive an exhibition originally conceived for The National Gallery, London, and presented in Mexico City by the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso and the British Council.
Saints Alive was the fulfilment of Landy's residency under the National Gallery's Associate Artist Programme, and the sculptures, collages and drawings he made were in response to The National Gallery's superb collection of old master paintings and drawings.
The exhibition for Mexico has been enlarged since the first showing at The National Gallery in London in 2013, and it now comprises eight sculptures and 40 framed works on paper installed in seven inter-connecting galleries in the magnificent setting of Colegio de San Ildefonso.
