Eleanor Clayton: A normal person from Wakefield; A remarkable artist but a remarkable woman. Stephen Feeke: Hepworth was odd because she didn't see herself as a feminist at all and didn't see herself as “I'm a pioneering woman”. She just felt she was a pioneering sculptor. Barbara Hepworth: I was born with the ideas of certain shapes in my mind. At least I remember as far back as seven. The whole time one's been working at it and working, trying to simplify and make more mature, get the right scale, and develop it according to the development of society. [music] Jo Baring: Hello, and welcome to Sculpting Lives the podcast by me, Jo Baring. Sarah Victoria Turner: And me, Sarah Turner. Jo, this is our first podcast and episode. Why are we doing this? Jo Baring: We met in our professional lives. You are Deputy Director of the Paul Mellon Centre, and I am Director of the Ingram Collection. We have a shared interest in art, but we realised when we met that we are really fascinated by sculpture in particular. Also, during the course of our discussions, we realised that women artists and women sculptors, in general, are less commercially successful than men, less represented in national institutions, museums, possibly have less gallery shows and we really wanted to unpick why that happens.

  • Towards an International City of Culture

    Towards an International City of Culture

    Towards an International City of Culture Southampton City Council Arts and Heritage Strategic Vision Executive Summary This Strategic Vision defines Southampton City Council’s strategic role regarding Arts and Heritage provision within the wider context of the City of Southampton Strategy towards 2026, council priorities, the Southampton Heritage and Arts People initiative (SHAPe), and the sub-regional Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH). Southampton is a thriving and growing city with a diverse and dynamic population. However, these developments are in pockets and other parts of the city (economically, physically, socially) remain significantly deprived. We want to transform Southampton from being a gateway to a place of destination where people want to visit, put down roots and engage in community. The City has a fantastic opportunity over the next twenty years to transform its cultural offer and create an overall vibrant cultural soul, a sense of identity and uniqueness that connects people to each other and to Southampton as place. Its rich cultural makeup, internationally important heritage story and nationally dynamic arts and creative scene provide an inspirational resource for exploitation. The significance of Southampton within the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) regional development area will ensure that this potential can be realised particularly within the context of Living Places. Culture is critical to Southampton’s economic development, health and wellbeing and the creation of an attractive image of the city as a place in which people want to live, work and play. Without a vibrant cultural soul, Southampton becomes a divided, anonymous, modern and transient settlement with little civic pride or unique sense of place, and without an attractive, sustainable and stimulating environment that people value.

    World-Famous Artist Swapping New York for Wakefield

    Release date: Tuesday May 14 WORLD-FAMOUS ARTIST SWAPPING NEW YORK FOR WAKEFIELD A world-famous artist will be swapping New York for Wakefield city centre as part of a major sculpture festival this summer. Huma Bhabha (b.1962 Karachi, Pakistan, lives in Poughkeepsie, New York, USA) is creating a new sculpture which will be installed outside Wakefield Council’s County Hall near Wakefield College for three months. It’s all part of the free to see Yorkshire Sculpture International – the UK’s biggest sculpture festival this year – and backed by Wakefield Council, Wakefield College, Arts Council England and Leeds 2023. In 2018, the artist installed "We Come in Peace" on the roof of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, overlooking the famous Manhattan skyline and her new sculpture for Wakefield will go on display from 22 June to late September this year. This summer’s event is being presented by four world-class art galleries which make up the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle - The Hepworth Wakefield, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The Henry Moore Institute and Leeds Art Gallery – who are collaborating to present a sculpture festival featuring major new commissions and exhibitions at each of the four partner venues and sculpture outdoors in Leeds and Wakefield. Huma Bhabha said: “It’s always exciting to create something new for a landscape I have never worked in before. I approach all my work with the intention of making it intense, and everything else will fall into place.” Cast in bronze to stand outdoors ‘Receiver’ 2019 is a human like form which began as a sculpture carved from everyday materials including Styrofoam and cork.
