KU sculptors host national convention
The National Sculptor's Convention, hosted by the National Sculpture Information Center at KU, will examine plastics and the use of lighting in sculpture, Elden Tefft, professor of sculpture and convention organizer, said.
More than 300 sculptors from around the world are expected to attend the convention on May 9, 10, and 11.
The main speaker of the convention will be John Canaday of the New York Times.
"Canaday's work in art criticism is controversial, and the question and answer session will probably be the most important part of his presentation." Tefta said.
"The most exciting moment for most of the sculptors at the convention will be the discussions of studio applications of plastic and light techniques," Tefft said.
Previous conventions have focused primarily on sculpture casting, mainly because KU's sculpture studio boasts one of the first and finest foundries for bronze casting on a university campus.
"Sculptors are the only group of artists who aren't really organized, and because of that, the convention has been self-sustaining." Tefta said.
There are 53 bells in KU's World War II Memorial Campanile.
If a student passes the written examination, he is eligible to take the oral exam May 16. Room assignments for the oral exam will be made May 9. Students will be notified within a week if they pass the oral exam.
After a search for financial aid for this year's convention, the Kansas Sculptural Arts Commission promised to supply funds for the principal speaker's air fare.
The written examination for exemption from Speech 1a or 1b, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences speech requirement, will be given May 9 in room 5, Lindley Annex. Registration is in the speech office, room 6, Lindley Annex.
