FABRIC-ATION, at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, is the most extensive exhibition of the British Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare's work to date. It features over 30 vibrant works and includes the premiere of Shonibare's Wind Sculptures, six metre high sculptures which look like giant pieces of batik fluttering in the wind.
