William Pope.L, "Eating the Wall Street Journal," 2000. Performance, newspaper, toilet, milk, ketchup.
Thirty years on from Rosalind Krauss’ seminal text Sculpture in the Expanded Field, a panel of artists and critics reconsiders the concept of the "expanded field" in light of contemporary art production. Co-sponsored by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics, the discussion reflects upon how performative, discursive, and design models developed since the essay's publication may have shifted the formal, political, and semiological parameters of sculpture today.
