Sculpted Ambiances in Africana Landscape centers on ambiance as it
affects the expanded sculptural field, particularly filling a gap in
aesthetics left by a lack of focus on sculptures and installations in
the Africana world and elsewhere. This book differentiates ambiance
from other affective states and emotions and explores its production.
It provides an introduction to the history of ambiance and vividly
demonstrates, through immersive and experiential writing, how ambiance
manifests in different artistic situations and social settings. The
book considers the neglected and unique importance of sculptural
ambiance to the history of Africana visual culture, and what these
works mean in terms of their social, historical, cultural, political,
and ecological imagination of space. The book is written in an
episodic style and begins with a description of an image before
presenting an analysis of the artist’s style and staging for ambient
experience. This book will benefit college and university students;
scholars of art, architecture, aesthetics, philosophy, geography,
anthropology, and sociology; and curators and galleries.
