Context: Architecture and the expanded field of sculpture. Sculpture now categorized within a more expanded field as oppose to the traditional definition and conventions of sculpture.
Sculpture = traditional object
"Sculpture had entered the full condition of its inverse logic and had become pure negativity . . . . . . Sculpture that questioned both what it is and what it is not . . . . Land Art [Robert Smithson]
Site vs non site [Direct connection through materiality and a representation of one site onto another]
Sculpture = Marked sites / landscape / not-landscape / architecture / not-architecture / sculpture / site-construction / axiomatic structures [meaning the idea of representing sculpture]
Consider the following "Site specific not-architecture sculpture" in which land art became a reaction against the metropolitan gallery.
Mary Miss: The language of sculpture forming relationships to the rural/ landscapes/ environment/ architectural interventions. Sculptures that are non-functional [but hold a relationship to architecture] based within spaces.
Alice Aycock: Environmental art, physical enclosures, interested in and around vernacular architecture and the built environment. Sculptural works that resemble spaces that user would inhabit.
Walter Pichler: Created a lab to create sculpture/social/architecture "Kunstwerk" meaning complete works. They were architectural propositions. His ideas were often visualised through models [notice that the plinths were often an extension of the narrative and design]
