Culture Now: Bold Tendencies

20 Jul 2012

Overview

Join Martin Westwood, Mary Redmond and Barbara Wolff from Peles Empire as they discuss with Sven Mündner the particular challenges of making a commission for this year’s Bold Tendencies sculpture show. Bold Tendencies is a non-profit sculpture project that has been dedicated to commissioning new monumental outdoor sculpture by international artists every summer since its foundation in 2007. Started by Hannah Barry Gallery is has since been developed into an independent charitable institution and is entirely run by volunteers. Held on the top four floors of an abandoned multi-storey car park in Peckham, South London, Bold Tendencies is committed to supporting the vision of its artists and actively engaging with its wide audiences. The current project includes work by six international artists and will be open all summer until the end of September.
