'The Wrestlers: notes on a sculpture'

The statue 'The Wrestlers' by Giovanni Piamontini in the National Gallery of Ireland was the subject of recent work. Martial artists and dancers responded to the statue in terms of movement and the efficacy of what the sculptor carved.
A text on the subject by Maria Anita Stefanelli, part of IMMA's conversations with artists, may be read here.
