Where Is Production? ― Inquiries into Contemporary Sculpture

Where is Production? is the first instalment of Black Dog Publishing’s series Inquiries into Contemporary Sculpture that explores what constitutes, excites, entangles, and necessitates ideas and questions around sculpture.

Each volume in the series chooses a different line of inquiry, aided by a select group of artists, curators and historians. Where is Production? is an exploration into the medium’s modes and sites of production. It questions the meaning of the word ?production’ itself, what it encompasses, and how it informs and leads sculptural practice today.

With contributions by SculptureCenter members of staff ? Mary Ceruti, the Executive Director and Chief Curator, and Ruba Katrib, Curator ? alongside artist Carol Bove and Editor-in-chief of Artforum magazine Michelle Kuo, amongst others. Where is Production? is an insightful, thought-provoking look at contemporary sculpture, for those interested in the field and contemporary art as a whole.
