Beyond Surface Appeal: Literalism, Sensibilities, and Constituencies in the Work of James Carpenter (Eliot Noyes Series),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Two essays and a set of original diagrams consider the parameters of the something beyond in James Carpenters projects. Architectural historian Mark Linder offers a long view of Carpenters work, placing his early career as an installation artist and experimental filmmaker in the context of contemporary art practices. Linder draws out the continuities between this early work and Carpenters current practice as a glass designer, demonstrating a consistent focus on literalismmateriality, spatial perception, and inhabitationas opposed to phenomenological effect, expression, and representation. Architectural critic Sarah Whiting examines the sensibilities and constituencies that emerge from Carpenters practice. Rather than succumbing to the technique of Brechtian estrangement (which has become a default strategy for avantgarde practices in all domains), Carpenter gently eases his viewers into new constituencies. Perceptions and publics are altered, although these alterations are never dictated. Carpenters new worlds are not avantgarde but are more like dreams that embed themselves in the back of ones mind, opening new possibilities without choreographing what those might be. Finally, Lucia Allaiss diagrams offer a visual means of reading Carpenters combination of technique and effecthis means of making light material and making material present. Photographs and extended captions from Carpenter complete this books documentation of key projects.
