Abstract
Charles Ray states that “space, sculptural space…is the sculptor's primary medium.” This paper unpacks the term “sculptural space,” uncovers historical precedent for it, and suggests why it is fundamental to Ray’s project. The paper argues that, due to sculptural space, Ray’s artwork allows for many forms of meaningful engagement.
