Speakers: Artists Richard Deacon, Richard Wentworth and Dr Joy Sleeman (Slade School of Fine Art), moderated by Dr. Ziba Ardalan
The discussion will primarily focus on the practice of sculpture during the 1980’s in both USA and UK, considering the use of materials, approaches and defining a new understanding of three-dimensional object-making from opposite sides of the Atlantic during this era.
Artists Richard Deacon, Richard Wentworth and Dr Joy Sleeman will share differing perspectives of some of the cultural dynamics and influences which affected sculpture during the 1980s.
