Panel: Public Art/Public Purse: but who's the client?: Client Relations with the Public Purse
Session Chair:
Lewis Biggs, Director, Liverpool Biennial
Panelists:
Jonathan Black, Sr. Research Fellow, Kingston University
Laurie Peake, Programme Director for Public Art, Liverpool Biennial
Sally Shaw, Curator, Art on the Underground
The relation of a private client to artist and artwork can be reasonably straightforward. Relations may become challenging if the art is destined for public space, and byzantine when the client uses public funds. Definitions of public art and public space are famously slippery, and may depend on whether it is morality or taste that is at issue. Each member of this panel will describe the intricacies of ‘ownership’ of the commissioning process in relation to a major recent commission involving public space or money, before inviting comments and an audience discussion of examples / suggestions of best practice. |

Panel: Sculpture, In An Age of Expanded Information
Session Chair :
Elaine A. King - Professor/Critic, Carnegie Mellon University
Panelists:
Moira Marti Geoffrion - Professor of Art and Distinguished Faculty Fellow, University of Arizona
Bruce Gernand - Research Fellow, Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design
Joan Truckenbrod - Professor, The School of Art Institute Chicago
This panel, intended for a diverse audience, examines the state of sculpture as old categories are fracturing and as latest technologies produce new paradigms. New “rhizomatic” artwork emphasizes unexpected juxtapositions, connections, dissection and diversity—what is required to read this work comprised of new forms of visual literacy? How is theory and technology altering the face of sculpture in a Post-Studio era and how do the production, distribution, and reception relate to larger trends toward economic and cultural globalization, and how does globalization effect how we categorize and interpret interdisciplinary sculpture? |

Panel: Objecting to Objects: the Future of Dematerialization
Session Chair:
David Beech - Senior Lecturer BA Fine Art, Chelsea College of Art & Design
Panelists:
Charlotte Cohen - Regional Fine Arts Officer, US General Service Administration
Carole Anne Meehan -Senior Project Manager and Curator, Houston Arts Alliance
Helen Pheby – Curator, Yorkshire Sculpture Park
This panel will explore issues arising from contemporary approaches to site, the disappearing object, the performative event, and the immersion of the object in acts of social exchange. Dematerialization is no longer a militant claim about the art object but a quality of art that opens itself up to lived experience.

Panel: Curating Sculpture Session Chairs
Mark Dunhill, Dean, School Art , Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design
Tamiko O'Brien, Acting Head of School of Fine Art, Wimbledon College of Art Panelists:
Simon Bill, Artist
Rachel Withers, Critic, Wimbledon College of Art
Jon Wood, Research Coordinator and Art Historian, Henry Moore Institute
This session focuses on the curation and display of contemporary sculpture. The panel discussion will consider the implications of different curatorial strategies and how they may impact upon the status of sculpture and act to undermine, absorb or amplify meanings and generate new and unexpected relationships. Jon Wood, Research co-ordinator of the Henry Moore Institute, will examine the nature of display with particular reference to the plinth and the vitrine. Artist Simon Bill and writer Rachel Withers will discuss Oysters Aint’, an exhibition curated by Simon Bill and Cedric Christie where an irreverent and provocative curatorial position was proposed. |

Panel: Language of Sculpture Session Chair:
Janet Echelman, Artist and Writer
Panelists:
Chris Fremantle, Producer/Research Associate, The Robert Gordon University
Melissa Shiff, Visual Artist and Adjunct Professor, University of Toronto
What are the various languages of sculpture now being practiced as we proceed into the 3rd Millennium? What remains constant and compelling about the sculptor as maker of physical objects? How do new forms of sculptural practices engage the larger cultural dialogue, while continuing to embody the ambiguity where materials convey uncertain but tangible connections between form and meaning? This panel will explore issues of current sculpture language and materiality, and the breadth of current sculpture practice. This panel examines social/environmental/political practice, sculpture in the gallery/museum context as well as the public realm, works that respond to their environment and change through time, and sculpture as an archival impulse to preserve cultural memory. |

Panel: The Challenges of Materiality - Sculpture, Non-Sculpture and the Academy
Session Chair:
Nick De Ville - Millard Chair, Goldsmiths, University of London
Panelists:
Joel Fisher - Research Coordinator, STONEProject, Edinburgh College of Art
Brigitte Jurack - Senior Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University
This session raises questions about the current teaching of sculpture in the art academy. Is it time to give up on medium specificity? Or is the materiality central to sculpture and important quality that should be more fully recognized within art teaching? The speakers will address these and related questions from a number of perspectives.

Panel: A Changing Landscape: Sculpture, Society & Environment
Session Chair:
John Grande, Author and Curator
Panelists:
Robert Ferry, RA, Principal, Land Art Generator Initiative
Ian Hunter, Artist/Director
John Roloff, Chairperson, Sculpture/Ceramics, San Francisco Institute
A Changing Landscape: Sculpture, Society & Environment brings to the forefront the green arts coming of age with presentations by professionals active in the field. Is the language of sculpture responding to changes generated by issues of sustainability and global diversity and evolving the language of sculpture in novel ways. How does sculpture link aesthetics to the ecological and design challenges of sustainability? Do ethics play a role? Our world is redefining its economies with green sustainable models. Is sculpture redefining it roles in terms of site integration, sustainability, and visual marking in the urban, rural, or wilderness environment? |
