A Seminar that examines how conventional forms of monumental public art have become increasingly challenged through dispersed, temporary, event-based and interventionist forms of artistic practice. One Day Sculpture was conceived as an alternative model for public art commissioning and place-based curating in New Zealand and involved the commissioning of 27 internationally acclaimed artists to produce temporary public artworks, each of which was presented for only 24 hours. As a hybrid form of exhibition, One Day Sculpture was curated collaboratively with 16 New Zealand-based curators from 2008-9 and stretched over time (one year) and place (five cities).

Taking One Day Sculpture as its starting point, this Seminar will explore how such new models of curating and commissioning seek to set up new and surprising encounters, often unannounced, engaging publics through an evolving, dynamic programme of temporary events and projects. Creative Time projects This World Nearer Ones on New York’s Governor’s Island and Antony Gormley’s One and Other will also be profiled.
