SHAPING SCULPTURE

Please join us to celebrate and launch the Shaping Sculpture 2010 programme and the first in the series of Shaping Sculpture publications. Throughout 2010 University of the Arts London is focusing attention on the practice of sculpture. Developing a programme to take place over the course of the year Shaping Sculpture aims to critically engage in the production and medium of sculpture as it exists today. Through an interrelated series of publications, exhibitions, artist discussions, and conferences Shaping Sculpture is an examination into the act of making aimed at revealing new methods of supporting current and future artistic practice.
 
The first Shaping Sculpture publication opens up the discussion surrounding the processes behind contemporary sculpture practices by inviting artists to curate its pages. Throwing open the possibilities of illuminating the subject of sculpture from the perspectives of those that are most engaged in the discipline. The offer of curating the publication's pages provides opportunities to uncover the wider interests and relationships artists have with their work away from the surroundings of its normal public presentation.
 
Artists include: Massimo Bartolini, Vanessa Billy, Godfried Donkor, Andreas Fogarasi, Simon Martin, Saskia Olde Wolbers, Damien Roach, Yonatan Vinitsky, Toby Ziegler.
