Nominated for the Turner Prize in 2009, Hiorns has worked with fire, foam, copper sulphate and animal remains to explore the physical and psychological resonances of material. In this seminar he will discuss his recent sculpture, including new work made for BAS7. In collaboration with Nottingham Contemporary, New Art Exchange and Nottingham Castle, the Fine Art course at Nottingham Trent University presents the Thursday Live Lecture series of free seminars by the British Art Show 7 curators and a selection of artists included in the exhibition. This series is an opportunity to find out more about the art on show across the city.
