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.
