Identity, Making & Materials Symposium

This symposium looked at the relationship between identity, making and materials, as well as unpack some of the key challenges for artists over the past 40 years in a changing landscape of sculptural practice.

Comprising two panels of artists working within the expanded field of sculpture, the first discussion included a panel of established New Contemporaries alumni artists Emma Hart, Mike Nelson and Daniel Silver while the second panel featured a younger generation of alumni artists: Rosa Johan Uddoh, Lana Locke and Rafael Pérez Evans. Discussions were chaired by Kirsty Ogg (Director, New Contemporaries) and Laurence Sillars (Head of the Henry Moore Institute).

Curated by Kirsty Ogg and produced in collaboration between New Contemporaries, Leeds Art Gallery and The Henry Moore Institute.
