Catalyst: Art, Sustainability and Place in the work of Wolfgang Weileder

Catalyst traces the impact and legacy of the sculptor Wolfgang Weileder’s situated and semantically fluid artworks, in particular those created as part of the Jetty Project, An AHRC funded collaboration between Weileder and Simon Guy and subject of a recently published book which will form the basis of this talk. With Dunston Staiths, a landmark piece of industrial heritage in the north-east of England, as a reference point, Weileder’s temporary creations acted as a platform to spark debates around the diverse understandings of sustainability in the urban realm and to bring architects, artists and social scientists into dialogue with one another, combining words and imagery, theory and practice.
