Play/Ground
Simon Beeson spent his time at the Institute looking at the relationships between sculpture, play and architectural pedagogy and their common engagement with the ground.
During his fellowship he hosted a ‘play’ session in Gallery 4, where he later installed an exhibition centred around William Turnbull’s ‘Playground (Game)’.
Antony Hudek
Research Fellowship
2002
National and International Contexts for 1980s British Sculpture
As part of his PhD thesis on confrontations between theories of postmodernism and painting in the 1980s, Antony Hudek used the Institute’s Sculpture Research Library to examine the ‘survival’ of sculpture.
Hudek’s interest in British identity led us to ask him to participate in the conference ‘British Sculpture Abroad: 1945 to Now’ (Tate Britain, 2004), and to write The Break Up of New British Sculpture (Issue 45 of our Essays on Sculpture Journal).

Research Fellowship

Disclaimer
Carey Young came to the Institute to research ‘social sculpture’, and developed a particular interest in legal disclaimers as a form of negative space.
She later worked with a lawyer to create three new disclaimers, which were shown in Gallery 4, alongside a new film which contrasted the reality of the English countryside with the negativity of virtual space.
