Everything is Everything

 .
From a GOMA Media Release received today : 

Sculpture is both a way of looking and an action, just like drawing, painting, film or theatre … when it appears, an act of magic occurs. 
 - Marina De Caro 

What is contemporary sculpture? Sculpture is Everything explores the diverse and often unexpected forms we may consider sculptural — from film, photography, painting and performance, through to three-dimensional objects that fall outside what has been defined as ‘sculpture’ at different times. 

'SCULPTURE IS EVERYTHING' OPENS AT GOMA
 
A brooding mass of 300 tyre tubes hovering like clouds; dance machines from the Torres Strait Islands; two giant red polar bears and a seal balancing a baby grand piano on its nose are among more than 130 contemporary sculptures that will transform GOMA's ground floor in a major exhibition opening on August 18.
