Surrealist poet Paul =C9luard wrote that the Marquis de Sade 'wished to giv=
e
back to civilised man the force of his primitive instincts and to liberate
the amorous imagination from its fixations'. This discussion considers the
importance for surrealism of Sade's life and work, and asks what
significance he continues to have in a wider, contemporary cultural context=
?
The contributors are: art historians Neil Cox and Simon Baker, who have
written on the surrealist reception of Sade; John Phillips, editor of Sade
and his Legacy; Adrian Rifkin, writer on visual culture; and Annie Le Brun,

Starr Auditorium, Tate Modern

Leading critics and curators examine the rise of figurative sculpture since
the 1980s.  Can the emergence of artists such as Katharina Fritsch, Juan
Mu=F1oz, Stephan Balkenhol, Jeff Koons, Rosemarie Trockel, Heim Steinbach,
Thomas Sch=FCtte and Anthony Gormley be seen as a single tendency?  Do thei=
r
works mark a new development in the tradition of modern sculpture, or are
they essentially paintings, drawings and photographs expanded into
three-dimensions? Speakers include: Daniel Birnbaum, contributing editor at
Artforum and Director of Portikus in Frankfurt; Iwona Blazwick, Director of
the Whitechapel Art Gallery and curator of Katharina Fritsch at Tate Modern=
;
and Alex Potts, whose books include The Sculptural Imagination: Figurative,
Modernist, Minimalist and Flesh and the Ideal.

Clore Auditorium, Tate Britain

Turner Prize nominee, Isaac Julien, is Britain's preeminent black filmmaker=
,
an internationally recognized artist, writer, teacher, and scholar. His
preoccupation is with the representation of race and masculinity and he
employs conventional filmic strategies such as narrative and beauty to
explore and subvert stereotypical portrayals of gay and black  subjects.
More poetic than didactic, his films are characterized by their dream-like
imagery and sensuality. He will be talking about work exhibited in the
Turner Prize <http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/turnerprize.htm>.
