A massive coffee-table book. *** "A long-overdue monograph on a sculptor who draws not only on minimalism and conceptualism but on a rich web of intellectual and visual sources to create postmodern work that is a 'complex' of juxtapositions. Alice Aycock's large, semi-architectural works deal with the interaction of structure, site, materials, and the psychophysical responses of the viewer. Offered meaningful but contradictory clues by both her images and her texts, viewers attempt to discover not only what the work of art conveys but how it communicates its contents, in investigations that parallel the artist's own. In Alice Aycock: Sculpture and Projects, Robert Hobbs examines the development of Aycock's work over twenty years and her negotiation-along with other artists who came of age in the early 1970s-of the transition from modernism to postmodernism. 'The problem,' wrote Aycock in 1977, 'seems to be how to connect without connecting.' Hobbs describes Aycock's strategies for doing just this: for creating a work with disparate image and texts that offer a new perspective on reality. Influenced by the 'specific objects' of minimalism's hybrid forms and by conceptualism's emphasis on language, Aycock relies on paradigms, cybernetics, phenomenology, physics, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, information overload, outdated scientific thinking, and computer programming to create a 'complex' that is architectural and sculptural as well as mental and emotional. Schizophrenia and other mental conditions, sometimes considered metaphors for the disconnections of postmodern existence, are specific sources of inspiration in Aycock's work. By exploring the physical and existential positions of isolation, estrangement, disorientation, entrapment and fear, her three-dimensional constructions not only posit alternative states of mind, they suppose possible narratives and suggest multiple truths and lies. Aycock's work invites the viewer to experience sculpture with the entire body and a fully mind. Her sculpture has had a transformative effect on the contemporary art experience." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The beginning of a complex; Aycock on her family: facts into myths; Incarnating thought as baby boomer, cold war soldier, and '60s radical; From minimalism to the future; Cresting the minimalist/postminimalist divide; M.A. thesis: the highway network; Early work: projecting art into viewer's spaces and the world, the aesthetics of danger, and the synergy of 112 Greene Street; Maze, 1972; Low building with dirt roof (for Mary), 1973; Feminism; Drawing on patriarchal order while deflecting it; Architectural sculpture; Site specificity; Architectural sculpture as suprastruction; Borges's tear and Aycock's rip; The true and the false project: embodied and disembodied seeing: phenomenology and schizophrenia; "The beginning of a complex.": for documenta; Writerly texts and schizophrenia; Virtual space, medieval legacies, and architectural sculpture; From architectural sculpture to The machine that makes the world; How to catch and manufacture ghosts; The art of memory in the age of artificial intelligence; Enmeshed in wisdom's nets; Sophistry and postmodernism.
