Join us for a special opportunity to meet Scottish sculptor Michael Visocchi and tour Part One of the Whale Memorial. Based in Angus, Michael creates work that explores nature, landscape, and humanity’s impact on both. His latest commission, Commensalis, is a powerful tribute to South Georgia – a remote island once devastated by industrial whaling and now a rare environmental success story. Commissioned by the South Georgia Heritage Trust and the Government of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands, this memorial honours the island’s extraordinary ecological recovery and the whales that are once again thriving there. Come hear more about the story behind the work, its unique Antarctic setting, and the process of bringing this ambitious international project to life.
Scottish sculptor Michael Visocchi lives and works in an old schoolhouse in Angus. Using a variety of materials, including wood, metal, thread and card, to make works that often address nature, landscape and the human trace on it. Born in 1977, he grew up in his parents’ shops and cafes. After a brief time apprenticed to a cabinet-maker, he began training as an architect, but found he preferred more hands-on making. He transferred to study Environmental Art, and graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2001. Sculptor Michael Visocchi, on island at the Grytviken Whaling Station, South Georgia.
