Alice Aycock: Sculpture and Projects:
Alice Aycock's large, semi-architectural works deal with the interaction of
structure, site, materials, and the psychophysical responses of the viewer.
Offered meaningful but contradictory clues by both her images and her texts,
viewers attempt to discover not only what the work of art conveys but how it
communicates its contents, in investigations that parallel the artist's own. In
Alice Aycock: Sculpture and Projects, Robert Hobbs examines the development of
Aycock's work over twenty years and her negotiation -- along with other artists
who came of age in the early 1970s -- of the transition from modernism to
postmodernism. The problem, wrote Aycock in 1977, seems to be how to connect
without connecting. Hobbs describes Aycock's strategies for doing just this: for
creating a work with disparate image and texts that offer a new perspective on
reality. Influenced by the specific objects of minimalism's hybrid forms and by
conceptualism's emphasis on language, Aycock relies on paradigms, cybernetics,
phenomenology, physics, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, information
overload, outdated scientific thinking, and computer programming to create a
complex that is architectural and sculptural as well as mental and emotional.
Schizophrenia can be seen as a metaphor for the disconnections of postmodernism
and a specific inspiration for Aycock's method. Having discovered the case of N.
N., a schizophrenic whose poignant and vivid descriptions of his condition she
found in a little-known study, Aycock employs allusive texts that disperse a
work's meaning so that its content is controlled by disparate outside forces.
Hobbs shows how the disjunctions of Aycock's disconcerting andexciting work
reveal a new space between juxtaposed views, inviting the viewer to glimpse
unimagined possibilities.
