Sculpture Showroom
Exhibition
Sculpture Showroom is an adoption service for sculptural objects, seeking to match works of art with new guardians.
Sculpture Placement Group works with artists to identify sculptural works in long-term storage with no current future. Sculpture Showroom will bring sculptural joy into people’s daily lives, meanwhile testing a new model for circulating artworks, increasing access to art ownership and alleviating artists of the pressures of storage and space.
Let’s give work hidden in storage a new life!
