Ten Texts on Sculpture 4: Sculpture in the Expanded Field
from The Bad Vibes Club · host Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau
The third of a series of reading group podcasts on sculpture. In this episode we talk about Rosalind Krauss’s essay, ‘Sculpture in the Expanded Field’ from 1979. In the essay, Krauss lays out what has become a very influential idea of postmodern art through defining a very particular genealogy of Minimalist and post-minimalist artists working in the US in the 1960s and 70s. We also read a chapter from Tina Post’s 2023 book, Deadpan, in which Post thinks about Minimalism in relation to an aesthetic of looming and an affect of threat.You can visit https://www.dekersaint.com/badvibesclub to download PDFs of the texts.
