Fabrication as a Career: Round Table Discussion

Karin Ruggaber is Professor of Fine Art at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, and Head of Graduate Sculpture. A practicing artist, she makes sculpture as well as producing artist’s books. Coming out of a studio-based practice, her work uses aspects of figuration and ornamentation. She is interested in the translation of pictorial principles into sculpture, and how imaginary space materialises within sculptural language and public space. Karin Ruggaber has held solo exhibitions at greengrassi, London; Walter Knoll, London; PEER, London; Art Now, Tate Britain; and group exhibitions at La Casa Encendida, Madrid; CCA, Andratx; MUDAM, Luxembourg; Museo Marino Marini, Florence; Artists Space, New York; Camden Arts Centre, London and Bloomberg SPACE, London. Her work was included in British Art Show 7 at Nottingham Contemporary and Hayward Gallery, London (2010). She was recently commissioned by Selldorf Architects for a permanent wall relief for 21 E 12 Greenwich Village, New York, US. She was recipient of an Abbey Fellowship Award at the British School, Rome in 2019.
