Histories of sculpture within the Nordic region are under-studied
and the region's influence upon and translation of influences from
elsewhere in Europe remain insufficiently traced. This volume
brings to light individual histories of sculptural mobility from
the early modern period onwards. Examining the movement of
sculptures, sculptors, practices, skills, styles and motifs across
borders, through studios and public architectures, within popular
and print culture and via texts, the essays collected here consider
the extent to which the sculptural artwork is changed by its
physical movement and its transfigurations in other media. How does
the meaning and form of these objects performatively respond to the
pressure of their relocations and rematerialisations? Conversely,
how do sculptures impact their new contexts of display? The
contributing authors engage with a wide variety of objects and
media in their essays. Each focuses on the contextualisation of
sculpture in an original and timely way, exploring how mobility
acts as a filter offering new perspectives on iconography,
memorialisation, collecting, iconoclasm and exhibiting. From the
stave churches of early Norway to the decoration of International
Style monoliths of the twentieth century, from Italian quarries to
Baroque palaces, from fountains to figurines, from text to
performance, these wide-ranging and fascinating case studies
contribute to the rich history of the Nordic region's sculptural
production.
