Description:... "Sculpsit" is the first volume in the series "Transcript", which focuses on the artist's voice, via interviews, collaborations, artist's pages, lecture texts and notes. "Sculpsit", the Latin phrase, "he (or she) who sculpted it", was frequently inscribed on sculptures, and was followed by the artist's name. It may also be punningly read as a diminution of "sculpture's situation", for this volume attempts to document some contemporary modes of expression in the "expanded field" of sculpture.
