While in classical sculpture, art was made from raw materials, in the present day it is often constructed from pre-existing, reclaimed objects. Contemporary sculpture is about understanding the ways in which objects both acquire and lose meaning, and using this understanding to imbue them with new values. Off the Wall examines 11 sculptors who use this "alchemy of objects" to create new physical, conceptual, and political spaces.
