UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON PRESENTS SCULPTURE AND DESIGN SYMPOSIUM
08.12.2004 News
Brussels (Belgium) - The relationship between sculpture and design offers a potentially rich, relatively unexplored, field for interdisciplinary attention. Throughout the twentieth century and into the present, sculptural values and design imperatives have shifted. While artists have explored the sculptural resonances of industrial and three-dimensional design, so designers have appropriated the forms, language and discourse of sculpture. Sculpture has colonised domestic, industrial and social space whereas industrial design and functional objects now occupy the gallery. From the earliest ready-mades to contemporary multiples, the mass-produced has found itself re-located, re-displayed and re-interpreted.
Explore the interconnections between Sculpture and Design in a unique symposium featuring an international roster of design educators and scholars. University of Brighton* will be hosting the Sculpture and Design Symposium on 14-15 January 2005. The symposium will consider aspects of education, authorship, making and manufacture, display, consumption and critical reception. The keynote speaker will be Barbara Bloemink, Curatorial Director, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York, United States.
