A Fact, A Question
Feature
Donald Brook

Sculpture is not like painting because it is not flat and does not raise the question of mimesis in the same way. A theory of sculpture must therefore be, somewhere at its deep foundations, different from a theory of painting. Not just a bit different: a lot different.

Richard Dunn: Beyond Dialectics
Feature
Ian North
