Featured Marathon: In-Person Sculpture Marathon – with Brandt Junceau

"The life-size figure is a touchstone of sculpture. To make something one’s own size, standing like oneself, with every surface, every feature – a head, a face, a gaze like our own – that’s a peculiar proposition, unlike everything else mankind makes for itself. It must have been very strange and intimidating the first time, in prehistory. Done right, it continues to be. Since Rodin, the life size figure walked away from rhetorical demonstration, toward daily life. Which has recently been perhaps best exemplified in photography – the Beach Portraits of Rineke Dijkstra and the Museum goers of Thomas Struth, for example. Likewise, the figure of this course is the body as lived in today." – Brandt Junceau
