Dialectical Materialism: Aspects of British Sculpture Since the
1960s charts a network of relations linking the work of six
sculptors: Anthony Caro, Barry Flanagan, Richard Long, William
Turnbull, Rachel Whiteread and Alison Wilding. Since the 1960s,
successive artists and art-critical frameworks have sought to
undermine or dispense with traditional media and the boundaries
between painting and sculpture, the core disciplines of modern
Western art. The artists studied here are united by their
commitment to sculpture as a distinct practice, but also to
broadening, challenging and redefining the basis of that practice.
In his essay, art historian Jonathan Vernon argues that each of
these sculptors has engaged in a realignment of sculptural and
material space - in removing sculpture from the disembodied,
'disinterested' spaces of mid-century modernism and returning it to
a shared world inhabited by other objects, ourselves and our
material interests. From the conflicts that inhere in this space,
we may discern the outlines of a new idea of British sculpture
since the 1960s - an idea by turns narrative, dramatic and
dysfunctional.
