This role forefronts the concepts of intimacy and interactivity--as well as ritual and process--within the context of sculptural experience. Nakanishi's critique of consumerism and conformity within these works--along with his experimentation with new plastic technologies--allows for a comparative treatment that includes a variety of movements and tendencies in Japan, Europe, and the US, including Minimalism, Fluxus, Neo-Dada, and Nouveau r�alisme, among others. The final portions of the book offer a wider and global context of postwar and contemporary tendencies towards assemblage, including an in-depth study of a multisensory exhibition by Yuko Mohri, held at the Venice Biennale in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, and Japanese studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47836196044951,"sku":"9781032859637","price":12987.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032859637.webp?v=1779268934","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nakanishi-natsuyuki-and-the-global-history-of-postwar-and-contemporary-sculpture-accounting-for-assemblage-9781032859637","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
