Shape of Things to Come New Sculpture Mark Holbom PDF

Published in conjunction with the opening of the new Saatchi Gallery in London in 1999, this mammoth book (over two inches thick) is a deep exploration of contemporary sculpture. The title itself refers to H.G. Wells’ eponymous novel envisioning the future, and was a surprisingly accurate prophecy reflecting the author’s own time. That book inspired Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which a rectangular black monolith becomes an iconic yet enigmatic sculptural presence, and this book opens appropriately with a similarly monolithic sculpture: an enormous representation of a videocassette copy of 2001. Like Wells’ book, this catalog seeks to project how sculpture will evolve in the coming decades. ‘’Gelecek Nesnelerinin Şekli: Yeni Heykel’’ Stanley Kubrick’in 2001:Bir Uzay Yolculuğu isimli filminden esinlenerek gelecek yıllar içinde heykel sanatının nasıl bir değişim gösterdiğine dair ilginç bir kitap.
