Throughout 2010 University of the Arts London is focusing attention on the practice of sculpture. Developing a programme to take place over the course of the year Shaping Sculpture aims to critically engage in the production and medium of sculpture as it exists today. Through an interrelated series of publications, exhibitions, artist discussions, and conferences Shaping Sculpture is an examination into the act of making aimed at revealing new methods of supporting current and future artistic practice.
