Worth reading the classic Rosalind Krauss essay ‘Sculpture in the Expanded Field’ (1978), the term ‘sculpture’, she says, had become almost meaningless by the late 1970's because the range of practices it described was so disparate (Nam June Paik's installation, Chris Burden/EAT's performance, Robert Smithson's land art ...) She traces the decline of sculpture as representational public monument, through Rodin's 'subjective', expressive work, to the abstraction of early Modernist sculpture, neither representational nor expressive. She proposes that sculpture is at the junction between ‘not-landscape’ and ‘not-architecture’. So there you are Rachel, in a space which is defined by the edges of other spaces. Interesting that in terms of the public's reception of sculpture there is still a tendency to describe in relation to one's own body, as of course sculpture is interactive and we experience it by moving around or through it.david gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519891434442241758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18079333.post-1130954140257505732005-11-02T17:55:00.000+00:002005-11-02T17:55:00.000+00:00Great installation - worth seeing if you have half...Great installation - worth seeing if you have half an hour on the south bank.<BR/><BR/>Captain JP has posted about this on his blog!JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10749223049615363296noreply@blogger.com
