  • symposium 2006 'HOMO ERECTUS'

    In the spring of 2006 FOAM/ArtRadius and Saksala ArtRadius will organize the second sculpture symposium - this time based on the theme HOMO ERECTUS. The oldest findings of Homo erectus are known from east Africa, and are about 1.8 million years old. During the next 1.5 million years, Homo erectus spread to north Africa, Europe and Asia. Homo erectus was the first member of the human family to use fire.

    Towards the end of the twentieth century figurative art had not yet fully recaptured its terrain. But around the turn of the century a growing number of artists have again taken up using the human figure in their work. Any interpretation or allusion to the human figure or humanity as a whole is possible.

    Number of artists: 6

    The period: April 30-May 14 2006

    The material: wood, or natural materials available in the landscape - the weight of the sculptures or the elements used in the works and projects should be no more that can be moved and/or installed by hand (human energy) - exceptions could be possible, the budget permitting

    Presentation on April 30 and May 14 2006

    a catalogue and a website presentation will be prepared after the symposium

    six sculptors shall be selected to work with the available materials and tools.
