Breaking the Mold: Contemporary Sculpure and the Nature of Reality January 17, 2007
20 out of 26 found this review helpful
This collection is a work of astonishing intellectual insight and viscerally affecting beauty. The authors authoritatively, even brazenly, examine the way contemporary artists reconceptualized perceptual reality through sculpture. It is the contemporary sculptors who shattered the idea that sculpture must in some way represent the human body - an idea that persisted for millenia - and reimagined it as a mechanism to explore dearly-held cultural and social conventions. The works of contemporary sculptors as reflected within this book have accomplished no less than the dislimning of the traditional boundary separating art and sculpture. Thus they have been freed to deploy unexpected visual tools to implicate the viewer in a dismantling of the insidious constructs that shape our consensual experience. Plainly put, you will view the world differently after reading this book.
In short, this is a MUST READ both for intrepid explorers of the nature of perceptual reality and lovers of art. For all others, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. For those who tenaciously cling to tradition - those conventional, orthodox, ideologically conservative readers, well, come on, take a walk on the wild side (it'll be our little secret).
