What was exhibited?
"Shonibare’s new show at Yorkshire Sculpture Park features Wind Sculptures (2013), six-metrehigh fibreglass forms, that look like fluttering fabric, painted in batik designs. Revolution Kids (2012) takes a more political turn with batik-clad figures with foxes’ heads, brandishing smartphones and golden pistols. ‘It’s based on the Arab Spring and the riots that happened in London,’ says Shonibare, and how ‘the police in London were surprised by the power of social media.’ The golden gun is a replica of the one found with Colonel Gaddafi when he was captured in Libya. And the significance of the fox head? ‘It’s usually the aristocracy who hunt down the fox, but this fox has attitude,’ Shonibare laughs."

Whoever is interested in this type of work, or Yinka Shonibare .
Was the design and style unique? What cultures did it reference?
He works on political issues for example his fox was a reaction to the London riots, he also has a few works on 18 - 19th century themes.
What do you think the health and safety considerations were?
Falling objects, slipping. Barriers round the works would be a suitable way of preventing these.
