Sculpture and the Museum
Friday 2 Saturday 3 February 2007
Venue: 3 Albion Place, Leeds
Organised by the Henry Moore Institute in collaboration with Dr Christopher
Marshall (University of Melbourne)
A two-day international conference exploring the symbolic role of sculpture as
it has been presented by museums over the last 150 years, from the 19th-century
artist, collector or patron - including Flaxman, Frick and Duveen - to the 20th
century 'museum intervention', as exemplified by the Tate's Turbine Hall. The
conference will focus mainly on British, French and American museum spaces, and
will range over national, municipal and private collections in its enquiry into
why museums choose to use sculpture in different ways according to the personal
and political imperatives of the time.
