Sculptural Materiality in the Age of Conceptualism is structured
around four distinct but interrelated projects initially realized
in Italy between 1966 and 1972: Yayoi Kusama's Narcissus Garden,
Michelangelo Pistoletto's Newspaper Sphere (Sfera di giornali),
Robert Smithson's Asphalt Rundown, and Joseph Beuys's Arena. These
works all utilized non-traditional materials, collaborative
patronage models, and alternative modes of display to create a
spatially and temporally dispersed arena of matter and action, with
photography serving as a connective, material thread within the
sculpture it reflects. While created by major artists of the
postwar period, these particular projects have yet to receive
substantive art historical analysis, especially from a sculptural
perspective. Here, they anchor a transnational narrative in which
sculpture emerged as a node, a center of transaction comprising
multiple material phenomenon, including objects, images, and
actors. When seen as entangled, polymorphous entities, these works
suggest that the charge of sculpture in the late postwar period
came from its concurrent existence as both three-dimensional
phenomena and photographic image, in the interchanges among the
materials that continue to activate and alter the constitution of
sculpture within the contemporary sphere.
