Workspace Social Sculpture

Exploring Paradox-as-Praxis

Workspace Social Sculpture convenes inquiries in which people practise the craft of being together, especially when what is at stake resists simple answers. We work with groups to keep learning and connection alive as we negotiate constantly shifting patterns of power relationships and keep the complex complex.

Social sculpture supports us in dwelling with and reflecting upon the emergent, embodied experience of social life. Shared worlds are constantly being shaped and reshaped through attention, gesture, silence, and affect, whether this unfolds in a team, a classroom, an organisation, a public institution, a cultural initiative, a neighbourhood project, or an informal collective. Everyone participates as an artist of social life, because collective reality is continuously composed and transformed through our interdependent interactions.

Workspace Social Sculpture offers a processual space for creation and rehearsal, where we engage together and carry what we learned back into the beautiful messiness of everyday life.
