Everything about The International Sculpture Symposium totally explained
The
International Sculpture Symposium movement was spearheaded by
Karl Prantl in
Austria in 1959 .
This initiative grew from the need to facilitate communication and exchange between members of the international sculpture community. It was also rooted in
Cold War tensions, which lent a particular urgency to the need for cross-cultural dialogue on a person-to-person basis.
The first international sculpture symposium took place in an abandoned stone quarry in
St. Margarethan, Austria.
Sculptors from around the world joined together to produce a permanent public artwork from local stone, a dynamic which would provide the model for many symposia to follow.
Since then international sculpture symposia have been held in numerous towns and cities around the world, including
Lindabrunn, Austria and
Hagi,
Japan (a town known for its
pottery). The first international sculpture symposia in the United States (and the first on a college campus) was in 1965 on the
California State University, Long Beach campus in
Long Beach, California.
The first Sculpture Symposium in Australia was held at Wondabyne near Gosford in New South Wales in 1986.
It was followed by the Barossa International Sculpture Symposium in Mengler Hill near Tanunda in the Barossa in South Australia in 1988. Nine sculptures in Marble and Granite were carved by sculptors from France, USA, Japan and Australia. The Site is now the Barossa Sculpture Park.
