HERE&NOW15 Curator's Tour and Talk
Event Information
Description
The curatorial provocation Andrew Purvis was given for this exhibition was to respond to Rosalind Krauss’ 1979 essay, Sculpture in the Expanded Field.
In her seminal piece of writing, Krauss identified then current trends in sculptural practice and suggested that sculpture had moved beyond the mere idea of a discrete object on a plinth and had grown to include land art and architectural interventions.
For this 2015 update, light, sound, and the presence of a body in space are all included as sculptural propositions, very much in line with the intervening 35 years of expanded sculptural practice. Join Andrew Purvis for a tour of the exhibition as he discusses the artworks and his rationale for this exhibition featuring WA contemporary artists.
