10th Symposium for Young Researchers in Sculpture [online or onsite]
New approaches to sculpture
Headed by Professor Claire Barbillon, Director of the École du Louvre.
Considered more challenging than painting or transversal themes of study, sculpture has nevertheless undergone a revival within the realm of research (notably monographic studies), often thanks to the dynamism of museums. Following the late-1986 opening of the Musée d’Orsay, 19th-century sculpture has progressively freed itself from its previous prolific and academic image that saw it described as ‘boring’ by none other than Baudelaire.
For the past decade, the Musée Rodin has sought to encourage young researchers to explore modern-era sculpture (particularly from the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries), in collaboration with professors specialised in this realm of research. To this end, the museum hosts an annual symposium, allowing PhD students, young doctorate holders and young curators to contrast and compare their subjects and perspectives. A new specific theme or orientation is proposed each year.
For 2023, marking this programme’s 10th anniversary, the organisers desire the broadest range possible of research issues and debates centred on sculpture.
