Red Threads, Loose Ends, Another Sculpture Is Possible

Ivan Juarez | x-studio, invited artist in the symposium titled Red Threads, Loose Ends, Another Sculpture Is Possible, which will take place at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna on October 17th 2024.
The symposium, jointly hosted by the studios in the Academy’s Sculpture Building brings together a series of lecture-style discussions. Ivan Juarez | x-studio has been invited by the Art and Intervention | Environment Studio, led by Prof. Judith Huemer, Head of the Department, and artist Tobias Piltz.

I sincerely appreciate their invitation.

Symposium:
“How to make, talk about and interpret contemporary sculpture, and how to grasp the complexity of its material, situational, spatial and thematic relationships, are often only the starting points for the many discussions that take place within the context of each studio. The event was created in an attempt to draw together some of these discursive threads and open them up not only within the structures of the Academy, but also to a wider audience. Each of the speakers has been invited by a different studio and its team, thus emphasising the different positions.”
