Conversely, the profession and practice of sculpture was seen by many throughout the twentieth century (and before) to be very much a man's world. Often using heavy and hard materials, sculpture was not typically viewed as suitable for women artists. Series one explores the lives and careers of these five women who worked (and are still working) against these preconceptions, forging successful careers and contributing in groundbreaking ways to the histories of sculpture and art. Series two features episodes on Dora Gordine, Gertrude Hermes, Veronica Ryan, Alison Wilding and Cathie Pilkington. At a moment when public sculpture is the subject of contentious debate, the final episode of the second series focuses on questions of gender, public sculpture and display, and explores women's representation both as subjects and artists in our public spaces and exhibitions.Each episode is recorded in places that are significant for the women sculptors featured their studios, as well as galleries and public places where their work is on display and includes new interviews with curators, friends, family and the artists themselves, creating intimate soundscapes of their private and public worlds.The @SculptingLives Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sculptinglives) feed contains more information about the podcast and the artists and artworks featured in it.Written and hosted by: Jo Baring and Sarah TurnerProduced by: Clare LynchResearch by: Isabelle Mooney (Series One) & Chloe Nahum (Series Two)Music by: Pauline Oliveros, [Silence] (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Pauline_Oliveros/EASY_NOT_EASY_Festival_Oct_8_2010/Silence_1082010)Visual identity by: Vanessa Fowler-KendallThis podcast has been made possible through support from the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.We are also extremely grateful to Art UK (https://artuk.org/) and National Life Stories: Artists' Lives (British Library) (https://www.bl.uk/projects/national-life-stories-artists-lives) . more
