Ian George-Social Sculpture Forum, Melbourne

Ian is a founding director of Melbourne property company CGA Bryson, specializing in funds management and commercial development.

He has found the connections between Rudolf Steiner's epistemology and Beuys' concept of social sculpture inspirational and they have influenced his approach to the management of CGA Bryson's construction business. This has led to the introduction of a new collaborative approach to working with staff, contractors and consultants.

He is interested in practical approaches to social sculpture and Beuys' permanent conference and how these can create impulses in society to transform it in a self determining, open & humane way whilst allowing others their freedom.

Ian has contributed his insights on the transformative potential in an enterprise, from a social sculpture perspective, in a number of different fora, including the Melbourne Conference in 2007 linked to the Steiner-Beuys exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria.
