Contemporary Artists and Barbara Hepworth Session 1: Tension | Void

This online symposium explored the material practices of selected contemporary artists. It aimed to reveal the working processes of these artists, and make connections between their work and Barbara Hepworth’s oeuvre.
The symposium focused on two themes, Still | Moving and Tension | Void. Each artist was invited to consider one of the themes and the interstices between the paired words. In doing so each artist revealed the methods they use to ask questions, find meaning and frame historical and contemporary perspectives on the world.
