PPG have ten small commissions
available for small sculptural works designed to be handled. These objects will
form part of a large engagement project called Wonder Room, which uses the
magic of early incarnations of the museum (wunderkammer,
or cabinets of curiosity) as the basis for arts workshops and events. The project
is designed to inspire something of the wonder of the unknown, the strange
magic of objects and to encourage speculation and story-telling for visitors of
all ages. Each of these sculptures will be added progressively over the coming
months to a purpose-built cabinet in the gallery space, which visitors can explore
when they visit.
We are looking for works of
sculpture in any media (or mixed media) which may look functional, decorative
or exotic, hand-made or mechanical, fantastical, geological, mysterious or
sinister.
This commission is part of the Monument
Project and it is funded by Awards for All.
