TAILIEUCHUNG - SOFT SCULPTURE

In Janet Zweig’s Impersonator (2002), installed in the Instructional Technology Center of Santa Fe Community College, the author may not be dead, but she is unequivocally missing in action.

Artists replaced traditional techniques expensive cast bronze and carved stone and wood instead employing cheap domestic and industrial materials. The ambiguities of softness can be seen here in many guises. The National Gallery of Australia s collection boasts many intriguing soft sculptures dating from 1920 to the twenty-first century and made in Europe America Australia and Asia. Several works have rarely been displayed before. Others are great favourites and may change as we see them in a new context. This publication and the website for Soft sculpture softsculpture will ensure the works reach new audiences. The Gallery s commitment to the medium of sculpture is evident in this project.
