Whilst discussions about installation art, performance art, or other 3D art forms are widespread, the discourse on sculpture seems to be stuck in historical, material, or thematic frameworks. According to Van Alphen, this is a loss for our understanding of art in general, and of sculpture in particular. In order to assess contemporary art practices, he argues we should have a better understanding of the logics that are at work within sculpture as a medium, and how they differ from other art forms. This book explores ‘seven logics’ of sculpture with a contemporary analytical approach, drawing from literature, philosophy, psycho-analysis, architecture, and mundane daily culture. It relates to aspects such as the senses, the skin, the body, objecthood, narrative dynamics, the shaping of space, fragmentation, and montage.
