Conference – Object-Excavation-Intervention: Dialogues between Sculpture and Archaeology, at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds 3-5 June 2004.

It looks at the myths & metaphors of archaeology & their sculptural currency, the archaeological & sculpural status of the fragment, at the philosophy of place & questions of site-specificity, at the political apprpriation of archaeology by sculptors & writers, and the notion of the artist as archaeologist.

Cost £30 (£15 concessions).
