One Day Sculpture Book Launch
Following on from the successful nation-wide series, One Day Sculpture, that took place across 5 cities/regions over 2008/9, the book of the series edited by Claire Doherty and David Cross will have its New Zealand launch on November 18.
The book features prominent critics, curators and scholars who each explore new considerations of public sculpture, temporality, performance, and curating art in the public realm. Conceived as both a document and critical expansion of the series of twenty commissions, the book forms a new dimension to recent discussions on situation-specific art practices and commissioning art for the public realm.
Published by Kerber Verlag in Germany, contributors include Jon Bywater, Max Delany, Melanie Gilligan, Dorita Hannah, Amelia Jones, Patrick Laviolette, Daniel Palmer, Martin Patrick, Jane Rendell, Terry E. Smith, Lara Strongman, John Di Stefano, Ian Wedde and Mick Wilson.
The book launch will be followed by the premiere screening of John Di Stefano's new film, YOU ARE HERE (see performances).
