Becoming Helen Chadwick, 30 April 2004

URL: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/cath/events/2004/0430/

A one day symposium at the Henry Moore Institute on the occasion of the
reception of the archive of the late Helen Chadwick and in asociation with
the exhibition there of her work: “My Personal Museum”: Et Geometrium Sum
(until 6 June).

Chair:
Griselda Pollock, AHRB CentreCATH, Leeds

This is an opportunity for students, artists, curators, critics and art
historians to reconsider the impact and meaning of Helen Chadwick's
immensely influential practice in sculpture and beyond. Situating her work
critically in a European context of art in the 1980s with two leading
Polish scholars of this British sculptor, the day will also examine
Chadwick's role as a studio teacher and explore the legacy of her work in
shaping some of the key trends in contemporary British art. Going beyond
the established terms of her reception in the 1980s and 1990s, the day
aims to bring together artists and scholars to reassess the legacy and
significance of Helen Chadwick's work over two decades.
