Mr Charles Nduka gives a talk at the National Portraiture Gallery entitled 'Plastic Surgery: Living Portraiture?'
National Portrait Gallery will host a seminar on 3D and Installation Portraiture on Thursday 15 June 2006. This is the third in a series of challenging seminars on contemporary portraiture and its place in modern art at the gallery. The event is organised by Alla Tkachuk, artist-in-residence, Queen Mary, University of London, in conjunction with the National Portrait Gallery.
This seminar will bring together leading artists and critics. It offers a rare opportunity with such participants to present and discuss the representation of human form and identity in sculpture, sound, mechanical & maquette formats and in 3D modelling and animation.
The event will be chaired by Tim Teeman, visual arts editor, The Times. Other participants are Heidi Reitmaier, the Tate Gallery, Jim Thacker, editor of 3D World magazine, and Charles Nduka, a leading facial surgeon.
