This title provides a superbly illustrated overview of David Schafer's groundbreaking Separated United Forms project. "Separated United Forms" elaborates on the site-specific and conceptual aspects of David Schafer's public sculpture of the same name, commissioned for the Outpatient Pavilion at the Huntington Hospital complex in Pasadena, California. Working with 3D imaging technology, Schafer scanned and 'remixed' a small Henry Moore sculpture from the Norton Simon Museum to create a new artwork that comments on the body and the medical gaze, as well as the 19thcentury concept of Vitalism. Featuring a dynamic array of full-colour plates documenting Schafer's working processes - including digital sampling, 3D modelling, rapid prototyping, and bronze casting - this volume examines how the conditions of site, technology, and process inform the finished work.
