Human Factor: Body Politic

A discussion about the meaning of contemporary sculpture.

Artists, critics and curators discuss ways in which contemporary sculpture explores the cross-section of individual and social bodies and how artists make use of mannequins to explore aspects of our social history and cultural life, including the art gallery’s conditions of display.

With artists Yinka Shonibare and John Miller, Artangel co-director James Lingwood and critic Martin Herbert.

The catalogue accompanying The Human Factor show is published by Hayward Publishing and includes new commissioned essays by Penelope Curtis, James Lingwood, Martin Herbert and Ralph Rugoff.

This event takes place at the Level 5 Function Room at Royal Festival Hall.
