Scholars and artists revisit a hugely influential essay by Rosalind
Krauss and map the interactions between art and architecture over
the last thirty-five years. Expansion, convergence, adjacency,
projection, rapport, and intersection are a few of the terms used
to redraw the boundaries between art and architecture during the
last thirty-five years. If modernists invented the model of an
ostensible "synthesis of the arts," their postmodern progeny
promoted the semblance of pluralist fusion. In 1979, reacting
against contemporary art's transformation of modernist
medium-specificity into postmodernist medium multiplicity, the art
historian Rosalind Krauss published an essay, "Sculpture in the
Expanded Field," that laid out in a precise diagram the structural
parameters of sculpture, architecture, and landscape art. Krauss
tried to clarify what these art practices were, what they were not,
and what they could become if logically combined. The essay soon
assumed a canonical status and affected subsequent developments in
all three fields. Retracing the Expanded Field revisits Krauss's
hugely influential text and maps the ensuing interactions between
art and architecture. Responding to Krauss and revisiting the
milieu from which her text emerged, artists, architects, and art
historians of different generations offer their perspectives on the
legacy of "Sculpture in the Expanded Field." Krauss herself takes
part in a roundtable discussion (moderated by Hal Foster). A
selection of historical documents, including Krauss's essay,
presented as it appeared in October, accompany the main text.
Neither eulogy nor hagiography, Retracing the Expanded Field
documents the groundbreaking nature of Krauss's authoritative text
and reveals the complex interchanges between art and architecture
that increasingly shape both fields. Contributors Stan Allen,
