Jesus College held its 8th biennial exhibition of contemporary sculpture in the Summer of 2003.

This year we featured works by Rachel Whiteread, Eilis O'Connell, Alison Wilding, Phillip King, Keir Smith, Steven Gregory, Peter Hide and Edward Allington.

Much of it new and some pieces specially constructed for the exhibition. The pieces were on open display throughout the College grounds and gardens, which are also home to a permanent collection of modern art.

The exhibition ran from 23rd June to 31 July 2003.
