tailieunhanh - Shaping the past: sculpture and archaeology

As advocates for public sculpture, you can navigate through the complexities of contract- ing to assure that the person or firm selected is the best-qualified professional for the job. Contracting procedures should never stand in the way of good conservation. Your first task is to educate the appropriate people in the department responsible for contracting or procure- ment.

These conferences clearly improve our understanding of the history and practice of sculpture but they also have the effect of returning the favour to whichever subject is selected to share the stage. The growth of interdisciplinarity as a respected methodology has shown us that most things can benefit from being located within a wider context. In his opening address to the conference Jon Wood who coordinates the research programme at the Institute traced the origins of the conference to a series of exploratory conversations on the relationship between archaeology and contemporary art with independent curator Katy Rochester. From the outset Wood Rochester and their colleagues in Leeds sought proposals from archaeologists who were interested in sculpture and in sharing new ideas with sculpture historians. They were especially keen on receiving papers that attempted to identify those historical moments when there seems to have been an intense crossover between sculpture and archaeological discovery when the ways in which objects and ideas about sculpture and archaeology have circulated in tandem. The organisers canvassed opinion on a wide range of related themes including the similarities and differences between sculpture and archaeological 2 SCULPTURE AND ARCHAEOLOGY material and between sculptors and archaeologists archaeology as a metaphor in modernity and .
