Berlinde De Bruyckere

St. James's Church, London

Overlooked by the steeple of St. James's Church, a deer lies on a stone slab, supported by a wooden pedestal in the otherwise tranquil setting of Southwood Garden. The sculpture, 'Rodt, 6 Januari, 2012', is a work by Berlinde De Bruyckere, a Belgian artist known for her frank portrayals of the inherent human qualities of fragility, vulnerability and imperfection. De Bruyckere grapples with these universal themes and translates them using a contemporary sensibility that combines poetic beauty with a brutal realism. Hauser & Wirth is proud to present De Bruyckere's new sculpture – one of the artist's first works to be shown publically outdoors – as the next exhibition of Hauser & Wirth Outdoor Sculpture.

On 4 September, Hauser & Wirth will host a book launch of 'Berlinde De Bruyckere. Romeu my deer', the third part in De Bruyckere's trilogy which began in 2006 with 'Schmerzensmann', followed in 2008 by 'In the Woods there were Chainsaws'. This final instalment is published by Skira and features texts by writer Caroline Lamarche.

To celebrate the unveiling of the outdoor sculpture, as well as the release of 'Romeu my deer', there will be a special performance by contemporary dancer, Romeu Runa, in the Piccadilly gallery on 4 September.

During the book launch and dance performance, De Bruyckere's 'Actaeon III (London), 2012' will also be on view for the first time in the American Room of the Piccadilly gallery.
