No longer strictly associated with scale, permanence and authority, the programme considers how monumental forms and ideas are being rethought through contemporary sculptural practice. Across five sessions, speakers will explore sculpture as object, relation, affect and communal expression, asking how public art responds to contested histories, shifting civic identities, ecological pressures and digitally mediated experience.
The afternoon brings together perspectives from across London’s public art landscape, including Stella Ioannou (Artistic Director, Sculpture in the City and Founding Director, LACUNA), Jo Baxendale (Fourth Plinth, Greater London Authority), Özlem Gunyol & Mustafa Kunt, Fatoş Üstek (curator of Frieze Sculpture), Mahtab Hussain and Sarah Carrington (Director of The Line), with further speakers to be announced.
The full programme will be announced in the lead-up to the symposium. Follow @londonsculptureweek and @TheLineLondon on Instagram for updates in the week before the event.
The symposium is pay what you can, with a recommended donation of £5. Your contribution helps support the delivery of future London Sculpture Week events.
