Description:
In this book, Dan Adler addresses recent tendencies in contemporary art toward assemblage sculpture and how these works incorporate tainted materials - often things left on the side of the road - and combine them in ways that allow each element to retain a degree of empirical specificity.
Review Quotes:
"This book is an argument for paying more attention to the material conditions of sculpture--not as a return to formalism, but as a powerful and necessary tool to cut through the lingo of installation art and the capaciousness of digital culture."
- Gloria Sutton, Northeastern University Art
