Assembly - panel talk with exhibiting artists

Curated by Alexandra Carr and Alex Breeze, Assembly brings together 35 members and fellows of the Royal Society of Sculptors at Hypha Gallery South Bank, following its inaugural presentation in Sunderland earlier this year. The exhibition brings a diverse group of established sculptors into a new architectural and cultural context, creating an opportunity for audiences, collectors, curators and artists to encounter contemporary sculpture beyond the conventional gallery framework.

Assembly began in Sunderland as an experiment in artistic freedom, exchange and collaboration. The London presentation continues that spirit while allowing the works to enter into dialogue with the distinctive context of Southbank and the international activity surrounding Frieze.
The exhibition brings together practices spanning installation, object-making, architectural intervention, film, performance and material experimentation. Across the exhibition, sculpture moves between the intimate and monumental, the poetic and political, the familiar and unexpected.

Join exhibiting artists for an evening of conversation, debate and perspectives on contemporary sculpture. Barbara Beyer, Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors will be chairing the discussion. sculptors.org.uk/artists/barbara-beyer
