    Threads, Loose Ends, Another Sculpture Is Possible

    How contemporary sculpture is made, discussed, and interpreted—and how its complex material, spatial, situational, and thematic relationships are understood—are just starting points for the wide-ranging conversations that unfold within each studio at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. This event came together as an effort to gather some of these ongoing discourses and extend them beyond the internal framework of the Academy to a broader public. Each speaker has been invited by a different studio and its team, highlighting the diversity of perspectives represented.
