| contemporary sculpture materials: Materials and Processes of Contemporary Sculpture Mahmoud Farag, 2020-01-17 Creating a successful sculpture requires an imaginative concept and a sound design that utilize the potential and avoid the limitations of the material and the process used in making it. Prior to a few decades ago, most sculptors were restricted to carving stone and wood or casting plaster, ceramics and bronze for their creations. Contemporary sculptors, however, are no longer bound by the limitations of these traditional materials and processes, and can now create works in sizes, forms and textures that could not have been achieved previously. Many modern sculptures are now made from materials ranging from steel and aluminum to plastics and composites using processes ranging from welding and adhesive bonding to molding and 3D printing. To fully utilize the full potential of such new materials, the sculptor needs to understand their points of strength, their limitations, and the most effective way of shaping them to achieve a given design. Although this book is written by a materials engineer, the subject matter is presented from the point of view of the sculptor with emphasis on the strengths and weaknesses of different materials, their resistance to weather conditions, natural color and possible surface textures, possible methods of shaping and joining, tools and equipment needed, and safety measures to take. Whenever possible, case studies are used to illustrate the sequence of processes and the cost elements involved in shaping a given material to create an actual work of sculpture. |

| contemporary sculpture materials: Philosophy of Sculpture Kristin Gjesdal, Fred Rush, Ingvild Torsen, 2020-09-09 Sculpture has been a central aspect of almost every art culture, contemporary or historical. This volume comprises ten essays at the cutting edge of thinking about sculpture in philosophical terms, representing approaches to sculpture from the perspectives of both Anglo-American and European philosophy. Some of the essays are historically situated, while others are more straightforwardly conceptual. All of the essays, however, pay strict attention to actual sculptural examples in their discussions. This reflects the overall aim of the volume to not merely apply philosophy to sculpture, but rather to test the philosophical approaches taken in tandem with deep analyses of sculptural examples. There is an array of philosophical problems unique to sculpture, namely certain aspects of its three-dimensionality, physicality, temporality, and morality. The authors in this volume respond to a number of challenging philosophical questions related to these characteristics. Furthermore, while the focus of most of the essays is on Western sculptural traditions, there are contributions that features discussion of sculptural examples from non-Western sources. Philosophy of Sculpture is the first full-length book treatment of the philosophical significance of sculpture in English. It is a valuable resource for advanced students and scholars across aesthetics, art history, history, performance studies, and visual studies. |

| contemporary sculpture materials: Materiality Petra Lange-Berndt, 2015 Part of the acclaimed 'Documents of Contemporary Art' series of anthologies . I welcome this new book about materiality. It explores questions of embodiment in our age of virtuality, and that is no small matter. - Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, International curator and art historian This anthology investigates materiality in art that attempts to expand notions of time, space, process or participation. It looks at materials that obstruct, disrupt or interfere with social norms, surfacing as impure formations and messy, unstable substances. It re-examines the notion of 'dematerialization'; addresses materialist critiques of artistic production; surveys the relationship between materiality and bodies; explores the vitality of substances, and the concepts of intermateriality and transmateriality that have emerged in the hybrid zones of digital experimentation. Artists surveyed include: Georges Adéagbo, Carl Andre, Janine Antoni, Amy Balkin, Artur Barrio, Robert Barry, Helen Chadwick, Mel Chin, herman de vries, Mark Dion, Jimmie Durham, VALIE EXPORT, Chohreh Feyzdjou, Romuald Hazoumè, Ilya Kabakov, Mike Kelley, Zoe Leonard, Anthony McCall, Teresa Margolles, Robert Morris, ORLAN, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Tino Seghal, Shozo Starling, Paul Thek, Paul Vanouse, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Kara Walker.

| contemporary sculpture materials: Contemporary Papier Mache Gilat Nadivi, 2008 Over 20 diverse projects are included Contemporary Papier Mache is a colorful collection of papier mache projects by artist and teacher Gilat Nadivi. With an emphasis on recycling everyday items to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces, Nadivi instructs readers on how simple materials, basic techniques, and a healthy measure of imagination can be combined to make a range of distinctive creations. Projects described in the book are diverse; they include human figures engaged in everyday activities, animals that are tall, small and in between, home accessories such as picture frames, bowls and magnets, and more. Recycling is an inherent component of almost all papier mache, and Contemporary Papier Mache really takes this principle to heart. Old wires and hangers act as bases for human figures, empty rolls of tape become fashionable bangles, discarded water bottles are transformed into women's figures. After trying out a few projects in the book, readers will find their eyes open to the artistic potential waiting to be discovered in basements, garages, and recycling boxes. Tools for these projects are minimal, and supplies are easy to find. As for guidance and inspiration, readers will find plenty of both within the pages of Contemporary Papier Machea. The book begins with a chapter on materials that describes the supplies readers will need for the projects. This includes basic materials such as papers, glues, work surfaces and paints, as well as fabrics and other decorative enhancements. It also includes suggestions about items that can be reused (and revived!) through papier mache. The techniques chapter describes various papier mache methods as well as painting and lacquer application. |

| contemporary sculpture materials: Anywhere or Not at All Peter Osborne, 2013-06-04 A new reading of the philosophy of contemporary art by the author of The Politics of Time Contemporary art is the object of inflated and widely divergent claims. But what kind of discourse can open it up effectively to critical analysis? Anywhere or Not at All is a major philosophical intervention in art theory that challenges the terms of established positions through a new approach at once philosophical, historical, social and art-critical. Developing the position that “contemporary art is postconceptual art,” the book progresses through a dual series of conceptual constructions and interpretations of particular works to assess the art from a number of perspectives: contemporaneity and its global context; art against aesthetic; the Romantic pre-history of conceptual art; the multiplicity of modernisms; transcategoriality; conceptual abstraction; photographic ontology; digitalization; and the institutional and existential complexities of art-space and art-time. Anywhere or Not at All maps out the conceptual space for an art that is both critical and contemporary in the era of global capitalism.

| contemporary sculpture materials: Contemporary Art About Architecture Nora Wendl, 2017-07-05 An important resource for scholars of contemporary art and architecture, this volume considers contemporary art that takes architecture as its subject. Concentrated on works made since 1990, Contemporary Art About Architecture: A Strange Utility is the first to take up this topic in a sustained and explicit manner and the first to advance the idea that contemporary art functions as a form of architectural history, theory, and analysis. Over the course of fourteen essays by both emerging and established scholars, this volume examines a diverse group of artists in conjunction with the vernacular, canonical, and fantastical structures engaged by their work. I? Manglano-Ovalle, Matthew Barney, Monika Sosnowska, Pipo Nguyen-duy, and Paul Pfeiffer are among those considered, as are the compelling questions of architecture's relationship to photography, the evolving legacy of Mies van der Rohe, the notion of an architectural unconscious, and the provocative concepts of the unbuilt and the unbuildable. Through a rigorous investigation of these issues, Contemporary Art About Architecture calls attention to the fact that art is now a vital form of architectural discourse. Indeed, this phenomenon is both pervasive and, in its individual incarnations, compelling - a reason to think again about the entangled histories of architecture and art. |

| contemporary sculpture materials: Materials, Practices, and Politics of Shine in Modern Art and Popular Culture Antje Krause-Wahl, Petra Löffler, Änne Söll, 2021-06-03 Shine allures and awakens desire. As a phenomenon of perception shiny things and materials fascinate and tantalize. They are a formative element of material culture, promising luxury, social distinction and the hope of limitless experience and excess. Since the early twentieth century the mass production, dissemination and popularization of synthetic materials that produce heretofore-unknown effects of shine have increased. At the same time, shine is subjectified as “glamor” and made into a token of performative self-empowerment. The volume illuminates genealogical as well as systematic relationships between material phenomena of shine and cultural-philosophical concepts of appearance, illusion, distraction and glare in bringing together renowned scholars from various disciplines. |

| contemporary sculpture materials: Charles Ray: Figure Ground Kelly Baum, Brinda Kumar, Hal Foster, 2022-01-30 This incisive publication explores the formal, conceptual, political, and technical aspects of the work of contemporary American artist Charles Ray. For Charles Ray (born 1953), sculpture is a way of thinking that informs his work across a wide range of media-from gelatin silver prints to porcelain, fiberglass, wood, and steel. Spanning the whole of his fifty-year career, Charles Ray: Figure Ground considers the artist's intriguing, often unsettling sculptures from both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in relation to his early photographs and performances. It also explores his interest in Mark Twain's 1884 novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Kelly Baum addresses patterns and patterning in Ray's art, foregrounding his engagement with preexisting traditions, classicism among them, as well as charged issues around race, gender, and sexuality. Brinda Kumar investigates the modalities of touch that run through Ray's work, while a reflection by Ray himself and a conversation between the artist and Hal Foster offer further insights into his multifaceted practice. |

| contemporary sculpture materials: Sculpture Movements Everett Sinclair, 2025-03-21 How did sculpture evolve from mimicking life to challenging its very definition? Sculpture Movements explores the fascinating journey of sculptural art, tracing its transformation from classical realism to the radical avant-garde experimentation that redefined artistic expression. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the key movements and artists who shaped the trajectory of this dynamic art form. The core of this exploration focuses on three pivotal themes: the evolving relationship between sculpture and representation, the impact of technological advancements on sculptural practices, and the sociopolitical contexts that influenced artistic expression. These themes are important because they provide a framework for understanding not just the what of sculpture – the forms and materials – but also the why – the underlying motivations and ideas that drove artistic innovation. The book emphasizes how sculptors responded to and shaped their environments, reflecting and challenging prevailing norms. To fully appreciate the evolution of sculpture, it is important to understand the historical context in which it was created. This book delves into the artistic, social, and political climates that shaped each movement, from the idealized forms of ancient Greece to the industrial landscapes that inspired modern sculptors. No prior knowledge of art history is strictly required, but an interest in how art reflects and influences society will greatly enhance the reading experience. The central argument of Sculpture Movements is that the history of sculpture is not merely a linear progression of styles, but a complex interplay of innovation, reaction, and reinterpretation. The book posits that each movement builds upon or deliberately rejects the ideas and techniques of its predecessors, creating a rich and dynamic dialogue across time. This understanding is vital because it allows us to appreciate the depth and complexity of sculptural art, moving beyond surface aesthetics to grasp the underlying intellectual and cultural currents. The book unfolds in a structured manner, beginning with an introduction to the fundamental principles of sculpture and an overview of classical realism, highlighting its emphasis on accurate representation and idealized forms. It then moves into a detailed examination of key movements, such as Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism, emphasizing how each movement challenged or reinforced existing conventions. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the revolutionary impact of modernism, exploring movements like Cubism, Futurism, and Surrealism, and the radical experimentation they brought to sculptural form and materials. The book culminates in an analysis of postmodern and contemporary sculpture, examining the diverse range of approaches and ideas that characterize the field today. The book draws upon a wide array of sources, including historical texts, artists' manifestos, critical essays, and museum collections. It features high-quality images of significant sculptures from each movement, providing visual support for the arguments presented. The methodology emphasizes close analysis of individual works within their historical and cultural contexts. Sculpture Movements has strong interdisciplinary connections to fields such as history, sociology, and philosophy. It considers how historical events, social structures, and philosophical ideas shaped the development of sculptural art. It also explores the relationship between sculpture and architecture, examining how these two art forms have influenced each other throughout history. These connections enrich the book's argument by demonstrating the broader cultural significance of sculpture. A unique aspect of this book is its focus on the artists' intentions and motivations, moving beyond a purely formal analysis to explore the intellectual and emotional forces that drove their creative processes. It emphasizes how sculptors responded to the challenges and opportunities of their time, using their art to express personal visions, engage with social issues, and push the boundaries of artistic expression. The tone of the book is informative and engaging, aiming to make complex ideas accessible to a broad audience. The writing style is clear and concise, avoiding jargon and technical terms whenever possible. The book is aimed at art students, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in learning more about the history and evolution of sculpture. It will also be valuable to designers seeking inspiration from the rich and diverse world of sculptural art. As a survey, Sculpture Movements focuses primarily on Western sculptural traditions, acknowledging the vast and diverse world of non-Western sculpture, while addressing the core movements that significantly impacted the art world and its discourse. The book's content can be readily applied to art education, museum studies, and creative practices, offering readers a deeper understanding of the historical context and conceptual frameworks that underpin sculptural art. While exploring the history of sculpture, the book also touches upon ongoing debates surrounding issues such as cultural appropriation, the role of technology in art, and the definition of art itself. By engaging with these controversies, the book encourages readers to think critically about the future of sculpture and its place in contemporary society. |
| contemporary sculpture materials: Modern Sculpture Douglas Dreishpoon, 2022-10-25 Artists of any ilk can be extremely opinionated when it comes to what they do, how they do it, and what it might mean.

| contemporary sculpture materials: All About Process Kim Grant, 2017-02-28 In recent years, many prominent and successful artists have claimed that their primary concern is not the artwork they produce but the artistic process itself. In this volume, Kim Grant analyzes this idea and traces its historical roots, showing how changing concepts of artistic process have played a dominant role in the development of modern and contemporary art. This astute account of the ways in which process has been understood and addressed examines canonical artists such as Monet, Cézanne, Matisse, and De Kooning, as well as philosophers and art theorists such as Henri Focillon, R. G. Collingwood, and John Dewey. Placing “process art” within a larger historical context, Grant looks at the changing relations of the artist’s labor to traditional craftsmanship and industrial production, the status of art as a commodity, the increasing importance of the body and materiality in art making, and the nature and significance of the artist’s role in modern society. In doing so, she shows how process is an intrinsic part of aesthetic theory that connects to important contemporary debates about work, craft, and labor. Comprehensive and insightful, this synthetic study of process in modern and contemporary art reveals how artists’ explicit engagement with the concept fits into a broader narrative of the significance of art in the industrial and postindustrial world. |
| contemporary sculpture materials: Materials & Media in Art Therapy Catherine Hyland Moon, 2011-01-19 In art making, materials and media are the intermediaries between private ideas, thoughts and feelings, and their external manifestation in a tangible, sensual form. Thus, materials provide the core components of the exchange that occurs between art therapists and clients. This book focuses on the sensory-based, tangible vocabulary of materials and media and its relevance to art therapy. It provides a historical account of the theory and use of materials and media in art therapy, as well as an examination of the interface between art therapy, contemporary art materials and practices, and social/critical theory. Contributing authors provide examples of how art therapists have transgressed conventional material boundaries and expanded both thinking and practice in the field. The chapters discuss traditional as well as innovative media, such as body adornments, mail and video art, and comic books. Accompanying support material contains media clips, as well as 69 color images. |

| contemporary sculpture materials: Contemporary Coast Salish Art Rebecca Blanchard, Nancy Davenport, 2005-01-01 By carving, weaving, and painting their stories into ceremonial and utilitarian objects, Coast Salish artists render tangible the words and ideas that have been the architecture of this remarkable Pacific Northwest Coast culture. The Coast Salish tribes have developed a culture that was and still is shared orally, steeped in the ritual and beauty of storytelling and mythology. Infused with centuries of sacred teaching, these accounts hold the secrets to the spiritual, political, social, and economic well-being of tribal life. As a testament to their cultural resilience, increasing numbers of contemporary Coast Salish artists have embraced the new materials that progress has bestowed--glass, concrete, and steel - juxtaposing ancient images with modern materials. Contemporary Coast Salish Artpresents the work of twenty artists, whose work ranges from traditional forms such as basketry and weaving to modern glass sculpture. The artists featured here - including Bruce Miller, Marvin Oliver, Shaun Peterson, and Susan Point, the progenitors of this movement--perpetuate and expand their ancestors' traditions through their lifelong commitment to visually interpret and rejoice in all the manifestations of their culture.
