Join staff member Alison Hayes to explore and discuss two works from our new acquisitions show.
Mirroring the title of the exhibition Points of View, we will share our thoughts and responses to the sculptural works of Anne Hardy and Alicja Kwade.
Is there a difference between how we interact with a free-standing artwork or one on the wall? Do the works help us discover more questions than answers? For example, what defines sculpture? Is there a thread weaving between the two works? And can all artworks cast some kind of spell?
All welcome - this is a drop-in, free event for all.
Meet inside Studio 2
