\nS1 Artspace<\/a> former garage block
\nSheffield S2 5QX
\nSaturday 30 September 2017
\n3PM – 6PM
\nFree to attend, all welcome. Suitable footwear recommended.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This event profiles Sculpture Park Hill as part of S1 Artspace\u2019s second phase on the Park Hill estate<\/a> and provides an opportunity to view our new temporary premises part way through their renovation. The former garage block that sits in the heart of the Park Hill estate \u2013 Europe\u2019s largest listed structure \u2013 is currently being transformed to become S1\u2019s new public gallery and artist studios, which will officially open in late 2017.<\/p>\n

Presenting artist Keith Wilson<\/a>\u2019s Park Hill Plinths<\/a><\/em> as the initial and only permanent work in a finally established landscape, this event marks the beginning of a future public programme at Sculpture Park Hill. Commissioned by Urban Splash<\/a>, the concrete discs are a collaboration between artist Keith Wilson and landscape architect Tim Osborne Studio to create a new footprint for sculpture in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

An informal exhibition of Wilson\u2019s studio works, alongside archival film and photographs showing the changing nature of the interior landscape at Park Hill will be presented across S1\u2019s new premises. Looking at the site\u2019s historical transformation, we hope to start a conversation about the future of the sculpture park and our further ambitions at Park Hill.<\/p>\n

Starting at 3.30PM, talks and tours will be held in the garage by: S1\u2019s director Louise Hutchinson about the organisation\u2019s future plans, introducing the second phase at Park Hill; artist Keith Wilson about the development and intentions of Park Hill Plinths; and Urban Splash\u2019s Regeneration Director Mark Latham about the collaboration with Wilson and their ambitions for the Park Hill site.
