30 September – 1.00pm, The Learning Room at the Hatton Gallery
Contemporary art has always had a changing and often challenging relationship with public space, the surrounding architecture, as well as the urban context and the people therein. The temporary time-based and site-specific works of Wolfgang Weileder offer a new approach to question our understanding of the urban environment and the interactions we have with it. In his presentation he will give an introduction to a selection of his international sculpture and photography projects.
Wolfgang Weileder is a visual artist and sculptor based in Newcastle who has exhibited internationally for the past 30 years. Best known for his large-scale site-specific installations in public spaces, that create new, temporary buildings, his practice and research are concerned with exploring how we engage with public space and architecture, and our negotiation of civic and social space.
Wolfgang has been Professor of Contemporary Sculpture at Newcastle University since 2006.
