Where do we come from What are we Where are we going These questions were posed by Paul Gauguin in a famous canvas painted in Tahiti that heralded the beginning of the modernist era But they are also the questions asked by modern prehistorians in their quest to reconstruct the human story In Figuring It Out Colin Renfrew investigates the profound convergence between the two disciplines drawing illuminating parallels between the way the modern artist seeks to understand the world by acting upon it and the way the archaeologist seeks to understand the world through the material traces of such actions What does the sapient paradoxthe fact that 30000 years passed before anatomically modern humans began to change their worldhave to tell us about the unfolding of the history of our species Why do we now find Cycladic sculpture beautiful when merely a century ago such work would not have been thought suitable for display in an art museum And how is it that in the light of Marcel Duchamps revolutionary gallerybased gestures the prehistoric footsteps at Laetoli have been admitted as art too albeit of an involuntary kind Professor Renfrew uses these questions as a springboard for his examination of the history of the human condition a subject that can only be properly understood he argues through the idea of process of Homo sapiens active material engagement with their world Central to his exploration is a group of leading contemporary artists including Richard Long Mark Dion Antony Gormley Eduardo Paolozzi and David Mach whose works are notable for just such an engagement with their physical surroundings Figuring It Out takes sculpture off the plinth and archaeology out of the trench and situates the contemporary artist and archaeologist together at the center of an active endeavor to reevaluate what it is to be human 175 illustrations 55 in color
