Symposium: Positioning Sculpture

To celebrate our current exhibitions, David Smith. Field Work and Bharti Kher. A Wonderful Anarchy we are hosting a symposium that focuses specifically on issues around making, commissioning and curating sculpture.

Questions we will consider will include:

• What are the considerations for commissioning artists to make sculpture for the public realm?
• What constitutes a meaningful context for the display of sculpture?
• What considerations ensure meaningful commissions take place?
• How do artists begin to respond to a wide range of sites and context, and conceive art works that inspire and challenge audiences?

We are delighted to welcome Theresa Bergne, Tom Freshwater and Tanya Kovats to share their extensive knowledge and experience with us during this afternoon event.

The event includes afternoon tea from Roth Bar & Grill.
