Fabrication Talks Season 2021
The practicalities of how an artist approaches making a sculpture have often been shrouded in mystery. The relationship between artists and skilled fabricators is rarely acknowledged.
Fabrication Talks Season 2021 was a series of online round-table discussions and in-conversation events. Artists, fabricators and academics explored the relationship between artists and skilled fabricators, making visible the ways in which contemporary sculptors realise their vision through collaboration and exchange. The series examined the ways in which sculpture making continues to evolve.
This season was a collaboration with the Henry Moore Institute and delivered in conjunction with the Universities of Leeds, York and Sheffield.
