This forum explores the global contexts of contemporary sculpture, with artists originally from Cuba, China, India, Japan and Nigeria giving presentations about their work. This will be a unique opportunity to hear why sculpture remains a relevant language at a time when 2D media proliferate, and how its international currency is shaped through origin, migration and local circumstance. Participating artists include: Abel Barroso, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Dilomprizulike, Subodh Gupta, Huang Yong Ping and Mamiko Otsubo.
