CLASS DESCRIPTION

The medium of sculpture is inherently grounded in the position of questioning, or rather the questioning of position. It is a uniquely accessible form within which to question our own positioning in relation to ourselves and our world today, whose process brings to the fore one of the core materials of any form of art: the invisible yet tangible conceptual framework that underpins it—or in a sense, acts as its armature. The physical sculpture, whether visual or aural, is an embodied trace around that armature. This class offers a collective space to investigate these positions, between subject and system, between armature and architecture/infrastructure, through the exploration of interdisciplinary embodiments, allowing the similarities and differences between disciplines and materials to open up new and sometimes contrasting perspectives, helping us to refine the way in which we conceive of our own conceptual frame, our invisible armature. The process of sculpture embodied in this class is one of dialogue, between yourself and the material, between the tensions of form and texture, between the sculpture itself and the spectator, and between spectators and the complex whole it forms, what Beuys would call a social sculpture. The collective aim of the class is, to quote Adorno on the composer Berg, “…to heighten the illusion to the point of transparency”.
