This exhibition continues a dialogue begun earlier this year with a photography exhibition of young alumni from The Cooper Union School of Art at Leeds College of Art: FRAMING SPACE / NARRATING PLACE. Organized by Cooper Union faculty member Christine Osinski, FRAMING SPACE / NARRATING PLACE addressed the experience and perception of space, the intersection of photography and sculpture, and the representation of three dimensions in two.  

SCULPTURE, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND THE INDEX includes work by current students, recent graduates and faculty from Leeds College of Art, one of England’s leading art schools outside of London. The exhibition draws in part on the proud history of the college, whose distinguished alumni include Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. SCULPTURE, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND THE INDEX looks at the ways in which sculpture and photography materialize coexistence between subject, object, event, and image.

Works by; Hannah Wenham, Vincent Todd, Claire Holyoake, Karl Sims and Harry Griffiths, Jade Long, Jack Fisher, Richard Green, Joseph Roberts, Sheila Gaffney, Sarah Taylor, Sarah Hawkins, Alex Dodgson and Maxwell Harper. 

Located in the 41 Cooper Gallery, located in 41 Cooper Square, on Third Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets.
