Sculpture 307 2012: Narrative Space

Today we shift from looking at objects that have been transformed to objects that that transform the space that surrounds them, including the space of the viewer. These are sculptures that create spaces, we call this space narrative space.

Cady Noland Misc.Spill, 1990

"Cady Noland

Misc. Spill

1990

Cady Noland’s work addresses American mythologies, considering the construction of history and identity coming out of consumer culture and mass media. Noland’s images, taken from tabloids, newspapers, and stock-photo sources, are combined with an array of objects to focus on those moments when a disastrous event becomes a compelling spectacle, when private space is rendered public, when counterculture collides with the mainstream, and when people or objects are transformed into media icons. Misc. Spill is composed of such detritus as an automobile bumper, aluminum awning frames, an Ikea shopping cart, and an American flag—surrounded by metal barricades, fences, pipes, and tread plates that confront and alter the museum’s architecture with vernacular materials of institutional control. Considered together, Noland’s ensemble forms an austere eerie landscape of American life." http://www.moca.org/pc/viewArtWork.php?id=50
