David Black terms his large scale sculptures 'Proto-Architecture' .
.
a combining of architectural forms: columns, arch-like units, canopies, benches.
.
with sculptural elements: imagery, a mix of stable forms with high energy, projecting movement.
Black, in fact, began his college career as a physics major.
His highly imaginative constructions are carefully engineered.
He's what the Russian constructivists called an 'artist-engineer'.
Urban Sculpture as Proto-Architecture documents David Black s public sculptures, with essay by Donald Kuspit, interview by Frauke Sandig of Umbrella Films, and notes by the artist.
