International Sculpture Day

David Jensz, Rupture

To celebrate International Sculpture Day on April 24, 2016, McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery will be open 11am-3pm and host exhibitions, free guided tours and workshops with exhibiting artists David Jensz and Jacqui Stockdale.

Set over 16 hectares, there are 100 permanent outdoor sculptures that range from figurative to abstract, small to large, and represent the best Australian sculptors. Alongside the permanent works, visitors can see three exhibitions: ‘The McClelland Collection’; David Jensz: ‘Sculpture’; and Jacqui Stockdale: ‘Drawing the Labyrinth’.

‘The McClelland Collection’ features 18 key contemporary works from their permanent collection, featuring artists Rick Amor, Stephen Bush, Paul Davies, Richard Giblett, Cherry Hood, Rosemary Laing, Ron Mueck, Jim Paterson, Patricia Piccinini, Alex Seton, Kate Spencer, Simon Terrill and others.

David Jensz’s ‘Sculpture’ brings together six sculptures and two digital prints. He uses industrial plastic pipes, inflatable rubber tyre tubes to 44 gallon drums in inventive ways, weaving them together to give them new meaning.

Jacqui Stockdale’s ‘Drawing the Labyrinth’ is more than one hundred metres of drawings in a fold-out concertina sketchbook of her 12-month journey across Europe where she sketched portraits of friends, family, self portraits, strangers and others.
