Henry Moore Institute - Wednesday evening talks - October 2010 at 6pm Making and Unmaking in Contemporary Sculpture This series of four Wednesday evening talks accompanies the exhibition Undone - open in the Henry Moore Institute main galleries from September. Led by art historians, curators and artists, each talk investigates the ways in which sculpture incorporates the fabricated and the found, using materials that evoke processes of skill and de-skilling, to rethink understandings of sculpture in a post-readymade era. Wed 6 October: Professor John Roberts (University of Wolverhampton) Art After Deskilling ******************** Wed 13 October: Joanne Lee (Nottingham Trent University) Make do and bend: the ad-hoc in sculptural practice The term 'ad hoc' from the Latin 'for this', can mean both a purpose-specific solution, and something that is makeshift and inadequately planned. 'Make do and bend' will explore this dual aspect via several recent instances of sculptural adhockery and will reconsider what insights Charles Jencks and Nathan Silver's 'Adhocism: the case for improvisation' may yet offer contemporary art practice. Joanne Lee is an artist and writer based in Brighton. Her current work in non-fiction and photography explores a curiosity about the aesthetics of everyday urban life, and is being realised through a new series of publications from her own imprint, the Pam Flett Press. She is currently Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University, where she is involved in research exploring the idea of an 'open curriculum', and in conceptions of uncertainty, irresolution and thinking space. ******************** Wed 20 October: Dr Glenn Adamson (Victoria &Albert Museum) Affective Objects: The Re-Invention of Craft Wed 27 October: Mary Redmond (Artist) The Floating World ***TALKS ARE FREE OF CHARGE, OPEN TO ALL, AND IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO BOOK*** Kirstie Gregory Research Programme Assistant Henry Moore Institute The Headrow Leeds LS1 3AH tel +44 (0) 113 246 7467 [log in to unmask] www.henry-moore.org <http://www.henry-moore.org/> This message is confidential.
