Hepworth - inspiration + next steps

[Trevor Moore]

The Homage to Hepworth event on Thursday, a Dulwich Park Friends' fundraiser, included this riveting filmed dance piece inspired by the stolen Two Forms sculpture: http://t.co/IzXGu57X

After a talk by Chris Stephens of Tate Britain, Councillor Barrie Hargrove explained that the Contemporary Art Society has been appointed to advise on drawing up a long list of possible artists to be invited to submit proposals for a new work for Dulwich Park. They will present this to the steering group this coming Thursday, 17 Jan. It will be up to the group to decide the shortlist.

Submissions from the three or four shortlisted artists will be placed on public display for comment before any final selection is made. CAS advise that realistically the new work will be installed in early 2014.
