Yorkshire Sculpture Park - Palestinian Olive Oil Wall
saleh on January 25th, 2006Artist Alec Finlay has made a series of projects for the Yorkshire Sculpture Park culminating in an exhibition for the Bothy Gallery and Park. The exhibition includes a Olive Oil wall made from Zaytoun Olive Oil.
In Alec’s own words: ‘Spanning the gallery is a high wall composed of clear glass bottles filled with olive oil harvested in the conflicted land of Palestine. The oil was sourced from an organisation called Zaytoun. To encounter this wall of oil, which divides the room and is illuminated with light, is an invitation to reflect on conflict, trade and resolution.’
