XV. International Forum in Malaga
Sculpture and Climate Emergency
5-7 October 2023 | Málaga, Spain
Malaga was an unforgettable art experience? WIth over 80 curators, artists, art mediators, and other art professionals meeting for our International Forum in the beautiful city of Málaga. We were treated to amazing guided tours to the collections of Centre Pompidou Málaga and Museo Picasso Málaga, as well as many other visits to galleries and studios and a marvelous gala dinner in the mountains on the outscirts of Malaga.
There were a number of inspiring lectures by distinguished museum directors, curators artists, and moderated round table discussions. Including a workshop presented by Ki Culture, centring around sustainable art practices.
The presentation by 9 artists of their work to our group was a highlight for many amoung us, giving everyone the opportunity to broaden our contacts in the art world, and offering the opportunity to share and discuss our artistic motivations and works with peers and experts.
It was a truely amazing opportunity to be immersed in the world of art and culture, thank you Malaga and all of the organisers, participant and cultural organisations who were involved in the epic event, it was truely wonderful.

FORUM THEME
What kind of processes can be opened up and what actions can be proposed from the present sculptural practice towards an ecologically, socially and economically sustainable artistic ecosystem?
Sculpture Network’s International forum in its 15th edition will explore the transformative power of art and sustainable practices. Artists and curators, public and private organisations, we will address and discuss the possibilities of inspiring and disseminating fruitful thoughts and scenarios, imagining other possible futures. We want to identify and inspire alternative earth friendly and fair practices reengaging with nature and the environment.
