London Sculpture Week

Last Friday, artists, curators, academics and practitioners came together at The Warburg Institute for the fourth London Sculpture Week Symposium, Reframing Monumentality: Contemporary Sculptural Practices in the Public Realm.

Across the afternoon, we explored what sculpture can do in public space and what happens when we look beyond the monument as a fixed object or symbol of permanence. Conversations moved through unmonumental practices, representation, relation and affect, opening up different ways of thinking about how sculpture can occupy, shape and respond to the spaces we share.

Thank you to all our speakers, contributors and everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon such a thoughtful and generous conversation.

Organised by London Sculpture Week partners East Bank, Fourth Plinth, Frieze Sculpture, Sculpture in the City and The Line, and hosted by The Warburg Institute in collaboration with CREATURE at London Metropolitan University.
