SCULPTURE AND ARTISTIC CONSTRUCTIONS – FROM THE STUDIO TO THE EXHIBITION SITE
Keywords:
sculpture, artistic constructions, creative process, creating a sculptureAbstract
The present article outlines the entire process which the sculptor and the sculpture undergo together – from the very moment when the initial idea is conceived all the way through to the artwork’s exhibition in a particular site or environment. The aim of this text is to acquaint the reader with the processes involved into the completion of the final vision. The need for such an in-depth research has been justified by the fact that viewers perceive only the end result, while the particular actions and steps that have preceded it remain a mystery.
The article analyses the relevant terminology and clarifies the meanings of the terms “sculpture” and “artistic constructions” used widely in the text, as well as the interaction between spatial art and environment. A classification of sculptural artworks on the basis of specific criteria is suggested. The stages within the creative process are presented and the role of the subjective factor is particularly highlighted as the steps largely depend on the individual
experience and preferences of the artist.
