Differing from the sculpture of the past decade with its mainly post-ready-made techniques or assemblies of recovered materials, this new 'extended sculpture' simultaneously forms set-up, installation and architecture and uses space as the actual material for sculpture.
Fabricateurs d'espaces groups eight internationally reputed artists. The works shown are recent or made for the occasion. Sculptors of space or 'spacers', these artists use a vocabulary of forms derived from minimal art or land art.
The many meanings of space are explored - space generated by the body of the spectator, architectural space, mental and imaginary space, cosmic space, etc. Space is probed, constrained, gone beyond and reinvented.
These artists use the actual gestures of sculpture to make space interact with the material nature of their works, works that paradoxically generate the immaterial.
