What a year! In 2023 we welcomed 64 new members, met at 18 Dialogues in 17 different European Cities, exchanged ideas at 9 Online Clubs and last but not least: had a fantastic time at our long awaited International Forum. The numbers are great and very encouraging but even more importantly, we were all able to meet new friends, strengthen our network and enjoy three dimensional art at its best. Here's to another great year!

Online Magazine
This year we finish off with two new highlights in our online magazine: the report from our latest Online Club Moved by the Wind and an interview with our member Monika Majer, who tells us about her artist in residence time in Bali. Have fun reading!
Moved by the Wind
At our Online Club in November, we had two special guests: artist and curator Reita Reinl from Bewegter Wind Festival in Germany and scientist-turned-artist Theo Jansen, father of the Strandbeesten (beach animals). A truly moving get-together!
Lessons on Weight and Lightness, or: What to Take Away from a Residency in Bali
Monika Majer is a fully trained stonemason and has been working as a freelance artist near Kirchheim unter Teck for more than 20 years. Her passion: stone in all of its facets. Monika, a member of Sculpture Network since 2017, experienced an exciting 2023: she won an international art prize, was awarded an artist residency in Bali, and started to create sculptures that gave her work a completely new direction. We talked to Monika all about these changes.
And there was also a lot going on on our Social Media accounts, with 500 new followers joning us on Instagram! Here are the six artworks with the highest number of Likes this year.
Our 2024 event season starts in Spain. Enjoy a guided tour of the ISSUE13 exhibition and discover a new contemporary gallery in the heart of Barcelona. Join us on January 13!
