Members of our conferences leave inspired with lasting connections, innovative ideas, and new possibilities in the field of sculpture.
This year's conference features panels on diverse and engaging topics. Led by artists and arts professionals at the forefront of contemporary sculpture, discussion topics include, A Place for Research and Cultural Resistance: Interstitial Public Space- a Transdisciplinary View; SEA Change: Sculpture, Education, and the New Paradigm; "What's Past is Prologue": The Influence of History on Contemporary Practice; The Complex Art of Making: the Role of Today's Technology In the Artist's Studio; The Object Maker in the Digital World; Casting the Iron Garden; From the Ludicrous to the Sublime (Or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Process); Older than Yesterday's News; and more. In addition to panels, the conference is honored to host Keynote Speaker Diana Al-Hadid, who will speak about her work and practice, and then open the floor for Q+A.
Diana Al-Hadid was born in Aleppo, Syria in 1981 and currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Working with a diverse array of materials, Al-Hadid creates monumental sculptures, drawings, and panels, all of which blur the lines between figuration and abstraction. Her work references history by drawing influence from disrupted typologies found in architecture, antiquity, cosmology, and Old Master paintings.
