Exhibition artist Florian Roithmayr in conversation about the Humility of Plaster project and current exhibition at the Museum of Classical Archaeology

Florian Roithmayr's two-year Humility of Plaster project explores moulding and casting as a mode of production, a process of transformation and an art form in its own right, through exhibitions, audio-blog and a book. Join the artist himself in conversation with Lotte Juul Petersen (Artist and Programme Curator at Wysing Art Centre) and Susanne Turner (Curator at the Museum of Classical Archaeology) as they discuss the making of the new commissions funded by the Arts Council, staged as a series of interventions in the atmospheric space of a classical cast gallery.

Free. For adults. Pre-book.

Book online here.
