Supporting sustainable practice.
Artists
As a Community Interest Company Pangaea exists to supports artists in the creation of high-quality works, to develop skills in traditional and cutting-edge techniques, and promotes learning and public engagement with the practice of sculpture.
Commitment
Pangaea is a passionate advocate for the fair treatment and fair pay for all creative industries professionals including artists, curators, fabricators, makers, technicians and installation teams.
Our first priority is to artists. We work with emerging, mid-career and established artists working in the expanded field of sculpture and with widely diverse practices, media and materials. We champion excellence, quality, rigour and professionalism.
Sculpture is understood in an elastic sense that harnesses the values, principles and commitments of a sensibility preoccupied with the phenomenological experience of materiality and space. This extends to the invisible systems, structures and social conditions that mediate this engagement.
Support
We offer professional and skills development, advice, mentoring and support to artists in both formal and informal capacities. Learn from our experienced technicians through our bespoke technical services, including but not limited to skilling-up in mould-making, carving, casting and digital sculpting.
Pangaea is a place for early-career artists to take that next step and get the technical and mentoring support they need to get bigger commissions and scale their practice. We believe that the advancement of technical skills is essential to the on-going development of the art form and the practices of those artists working within it.
We can assist artists at any stage of an art work’s development from responding to EOIs, concept development, detailed design, engineering, fabrication, installation and project management.
Fabricators & Technicians
We recognise that long-term sustainable art practices require time, skills development, community and money. We have a database of highly-skilled freelance artists who are experienced fabricators and/or technicians which we call on when specific projects require. We do not demand a full-time commitment. If you are a fabricator or technician, sign-up here with your CV, portfolio and location.
