Talking Sculpture: Dialects of Making
This symposium asserts the contemporary relevance of abstract sculpture made by women and trans artists.
In collaboration with the artist group TSM, this symposium positions a distinctly community-driven and collaborative practice to extend the overdue conversation positioned by the current exhibition in Vessel of the same name.
In refusing historical practices which have denied women artists space, the positioning of community building is integral to the ongoing feminist repositioning of abstract sculpture. Talking Sculpture: Dialects of Making supports a national and intergenerational dialogue of abstract sculptors working across the UK today, and holds space for ongoing discussion.
Keynote Speaker: Prof Griselda Pollock
Speakers: Dr Anna Douglas, Dr Julia McKinley
Panel: Gillian Brent, Katrina Cowling, Dr Charlotte Cullen, Alexandra Harley, Hannah Honeywill, Sheila Vollmer
Chairs: Ella Cronk, Dr Victoria Sharples
This symposium has been made possible with support from the Henry Moore Foundation and York St John University.
