TRAINING DESCRIPTION
Sculptural practice has had different functions since the first creations. The National Sculpture Museum, whose collection has one of the best sculpture collections in Europe, is the ideal place to think about this discipline and its validity today. From the debate around contemporary sculptural practice, determined in dialogue with the great classical and Renaissance and Baroque works, relevant conclusions can emerge, establishing as a starting point the work of some of the most outstanding artists in relation to the link between classical sculpture and contemporary creation. The debate about the forms and intentions of contemporary sculptural practice is accompanied by video works with artists who operate with the idea of the monumental and the sculptural from various perspectives: social, political, technological or historical.
MOVING STATUES AUDIOVISUAL PROJECTION
Selection of videos by curator Juan José Santos, works that expand the sculptural dimension to establish itself as living and / or moving entities. The title of the audiovisual projection comes from a phenomenon that occurred in Ireland in 1985, following testimonies that ensured that various statues of the Virgin Mary moved miraculously.
