These artists reconsider what’s needed to make a sculpture
Contemporary sculptors use traditional materials—as well as unexpected ones—to communicate messages through their sculptures. In his tapestry Bukpa Old Town, El Anatsui sculpts with aluminum bottle caps to make a statement about waste. Yin Xiuzhen uses found fabric and sound to create a miniature model of a city and to explore globalization in Portable City. In All the Flowers Are for Me (Red), Anila Quayyum Agha wields innovative technology and light to build a sculpture that shares a message about grief and joy.
