Te Papa Tongarewa</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Curated in association with Situations, University of the West of England, Bristol<br><br>26 - 28 MARCH 2009<br><br>Overview<br>The ONE DAY SCULPTURE symposium brings together leading international curators, cultural theorists and historians, participating artists, writers and curators to address the principal ideas and contexts that have informed the development of the series. The symposium will consider the issues underpinning the commissioning and production of temporary place-responsive artworks in the public domain. In particular it will examine: <br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"> The ways in which conventional notions of permanency and monumentality in public sculpture are being challenged;<br> How artists are approaching and producing places as unstable, contested sets of relations rather than fixed sites;<br>
How ephemeral, performative and viral forms of contemporary art are demanding active engagement outside the gallery or museum; and <br> What the implications are for emergent curatorial practices in terms of presentation and distribution. <br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Coinciding with the realisation of three ONE DAY SCULPTURE projects in Wellington, the symposium allows for a fluid interchange between these ideas and the first-hand experience of commissioned projects. Significantly, the symposium focuses on the point of view of participating artists and their responses to the curatorial parameters of the ONE DAY SCULPTURE series.

The concurrent two-hour sessions comprise workshops on ONE DAY SCULPTURE projects with either the commissioned artist or curator, close readings of a key historical or critical text with an international critic or academic and a presentation session featuring four short academic papers. Delegates will be invited to book for these sessions as each workshop is limited. The academic session is unlimited. Information on how to book for sessions you wish to attend will be sent to registered delegates in February 2009 when the full symposium programme is released.<br>
