Shape of Things to Come

This huge book of nearly 700 pages long is the largest on contemporary sculpture yet to appear. It is itself an object. The sequence creates an artistic vision of the future with reference to H.G. Wells and Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, the film "2001". The objects presented are derived from every conceivable material and vary from abstract arrangements to re-configurations of everyday forms in magnificent transformations of the mundane, such as giant electric sockets, to the recurring theme of the human body. It includes an introduction by Meghan Dailey.
