Sculpture Dialogues
The Sculpture Dialogues is a biennial symposium that brings together some of the most prominent voices of the art world together with leading minds of fields of confluence, to discuss the concept of sculpture on the context of a global multidisciplinary world.
Each edition will be centred around a chosen topic, which aims to jump-start a conversation and encourage exploration in different directions.
Alongside these leading voices, the Sculpture Dialogue Fund invites a young artist who has shown an excellence in the beginning of their careers to take part in the two day symposium. Each year’s selection of guest speakers become the de-facto jury who choose the award recipient.
The Sculpture Dialogues creates a collegial environment of exploration for two days, giving the speakers the unique opportunity to share thoughts and ideas before the final simposium. It is designed around multidisciplinary thinking to encourage a global outlook on the issue and its applications.
​
The outcome of this two-day gathering and symposium will be filmed and uploaded for free on the webpage to be permanently accesible to the greater public.
​
The Sculpture Dialogue is hosted at Can Sion, a rural cultural space in the Spanish island of Mallorca.
