Bruce Murray Arnott: Into the Megatext provides the first
comprehensive overview of one of South Africa’s most significant
sculptors. His influence as an artist, scholar, designer, curator,
and educator runs deep; intuited through the work of many of South
Africa’s leading contemporary scholars and practitioners in the
visual arts. Through an intrinsic understanding of the human
condition, and the balancing of the intellect with creative
endeavour, Arnott bridges continents, space, and time. This is
reflected in the monumental scope of references embedded in his
work, and in his view that "All sculptures are 'points of entry'
into the great sculptural megatext." Similarly inspired by history,
mythology, psychology, philosophy, education, ecology, and
sustainable design, this publication serves as one such point of
entry. It includes contributions by a range of authors who delve
into different aspects of Arnott’s life’s work; a selection of
Arnott’s own writings, chosen to represent the breadth and depth
of his oeuvre; a chronological catalogue of Arnott’s sculptures
from 1961 to 2018; and a visual timeline that contextualises his
long and multi-faceted career.
