Events

This one-day workshop develops the Institute's current research focus on issues surrounding sculpture and its exhibition histories. This session invites recent and current PhD students to develop ideas explored in the 2012 Association of Art Historians' conference session, Sculpture and its Exhibition Histories, convened by Lisa Le Feuvre (Head of Sculpture Studies) and Jon Wood (Research Curator) and feeds into our 2013 session, Photography and the Histories of Sculpture that asks how what role photography has played in forming sculpture's place in art history.

The event is chaired by Dr Catherine Moriarty (University of Brighton) and Dr Stacy Boldrick (The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh).
