GROUP EXHIBITION

In the Round decisively brings sculpture to the fore, championing the physicality of the medium and demonstrating its continuing pertinence for modern audiences. In this sense, In the Round celebrates the fluidity of sculpture and ceramics. The exhibition questions the rigidity of past canonical sculptural parameters by emphasising the freedom of process and material that three-dimensions can allow. In the Round strives to chart the flexibility of sculptural materials that can metamorphose from something tactile and malleable into something durable and solid, while still maintaining a sense of movement and mutability.

Ultimately, these works probe our perceptions of reality and our relationship to meaning itself often by employing humour, playfulness and experimentation. Sculpture is unique in its ability to provide a truly collaborative experience between viewer and art object; viewers are able to circumnavigate each piece. In this way, In the Round, conjures notions of performance and communication, understanding the physical and almost theatrical nature of sculpture as a medium. In the Round seeks to convey how three-dimensional artworks engage with our senses on the most profound level, poignantly circumventing artistic tropes in order to deal with contemporary issues, ideas and experiences.
