Cedar Piece

Andre, Carl

 

Modular, Like Stella. Taking single units [the stripe]. notched to create vertical form. It consists of equal lengths of standard lumber, into which he has cut simple woodworker's joints so that the sculpture can be slotted together, and then detached for the purposes of portability. No pedestal. Inspired by Brancusi's Endless Column-"A sculpture that doesn't end".

Lever

Andre, Carl

 

"atheistic, matrerialistic, and communistic". Lever is made of 139 fire bricks. There is no pedestal, must walk around the piece. The movement throught the space becomes more important b/c that is part of the piece. "If its sculpture, why isnt it vertical?" Disrupts the space of the gallery.

Equivalents

Andre, Carl

 

Very complex set of deductive stuctures, even though they seem simple. He takes form as he finds it. "120 is the number richest in factors". All installments contain 120 bricks, in every possible different configuration. Although each shape is different, they occupy the same amount of space in sq.inches. Sculpture demonstrates Andre's definition of "sculpture as place." By spreading out the bricks over the floor of the gallery, Andre wanted to generate a sense of extreme horizontality, reminiscent of the level of water. This led him to consider the layer of space between the sculptures to be just as substantial as the bricks themselves <but each sculpture was sold individually at the end of exhibition>.  Communistic b/c anybody can go out and make this piece. A protest against the use of artists work against hedge based inflation.

144 Pieces of Magnesium

Andre, Carl

 

He lets people walk on them! Changes your interaction with the piece. The notion that you have to act a certain way in a gallery is changed. Andre once claimed that the "periodic table of elements is for me what the color spectrum is for a painter," and many of the materials which he uses for his sculptures are pure elements selected from the table. Artists touch is gone, made with common materials, the material its made out of. <materialistic>

Fifth Copper Corner

Andre, Carl

 

"the strongest way to take up space is to take it at its lowest level" Used arithmetic formulas to allow people to see how he put the piece together.

Piece that he as making while he says he isn't making art. Every now and then duchamp releases an object, referring to this secret work of art. How we see the body, how we look at it, how we frame it.

Three Sets Of Tangented Arcs In Daylight And Cool White [To Jenny And Ira Licht]

Flavin, Dan


Takes over entire space. Daylight is warm, cool white is cool. Made the boring geometric space into a form that is unified. He aslo tells you what the piece is made out of in the title. Creates a dillema for the museum viewer. "where is the piece, can i walk in there?" Viewer becomes very aware of body, feels very surrounded. Not a "solid sculpture". Interior space is disrupted by sculpture in terms of color, light and form.

Untitled [8 Boxes]

Judd, Donald


Looks like things we've seen before, which was the artists intention. Vertically suspended stacks- emphasis on the upright strongly suggests a repetition of the observer's own body, a fact that serves to create a strong and unique relationship between two material presence. The use of two different materials, aluminum and plexiglas, offers the viewer two experiences; from the front, the beholder is drawn into the murky depths of space, while from the side, the piece presents itself as opaque forms, jutting into space. Each module is exactly the same. "how can i repeat the from and yet have a piece that is singular?" they do have a fundemental unity even though they are made of parts. The piece relies on where the eyelevel line is. Very adamant about no one touching them, but in common with andre is the interest in repeating abstract form. You also know what the piece consists of.

Untitled

Judd, Donald

 

One of his steel line environments. Judd simply lines the space with sheets of glavanized metal. Created an effect of "placelessness". Comparable to Rosenquist's environment.

Iceberg And Its Shadow

 Bell, Larry

 

Feelings you have in your body when you walk through a maze that is both transparent and reflective- a confusion between what you see visually and what you feel in your gut. You enter the work as an environment and you interact with it. Interaction of the viewer with the piece is the central act of minimal sculpture. All about what the viewer brings to the experience.

Tiny particles create rainbow/halo effect. Problem with the pieces in terms of minimalism is that they have plinths and pedestals. Critics said they were not a "gestalt".

Untitled

Morris, Robert

 

He wanted to create different viewing situations. "Gestalts" are immediately understandable geometric solids. Morris added interest by putting in a light, but we still know that this is a cylinder. what gets added is the cut, which divides the piece, even though it is completly "unified". Reduced to a unitary form.

It is scrap/garbage. Dedifferentiation. unlike the other works where you walk through and have a relationship to the works, he "de-differentiatiates" the gallery space.

Installation of Felt Sculptures

Morris, Robert

 

Randomness and temporality played important roles in Morris's body of work known as Process art or Anti-Form. Uses heavy felt that creates their own form. They are not recognizable forms, they use gravity to create form. Form is not permanent, results in a different composition for every iteration.

 Installation

Morris, Robert

 

Took up the whole floor of the museum. Morris had each block solid concrete (weighs tons). His idea was to literally break through the floor of the museum. it is overwhelmingly huge, you can also understand the process by which the piece was made by the position of the block (where they fell). It's a deductive structure that tells you what actions the artist took to make the piece look the way it does.

Definition

 Splashing [Destroyed]

Serra, Richard

 

His approach is close to Pollock's action painting. Lead splashes. Splashing the lead up against the wall then pulling away, you can again see the artist's process in the piece. Splash series grew out of his interest in an implied, reciprocal relationship between the artist, the work of art, and the subsequent viewer: "I was interested in my ability to move in relation to material and have that material move me."

 Cutting Device

Serra, Richard

 

Takes the materials and used a big industrial saw to cut through the materials. The saw has a huge kick, which makes the materials scatter. The process creates the piece. The saw composed the piece. "Creation of a piece through an action". The problem of its exhibition is that it doesn't show where the piece was made. It becomes more of a historical document of a piece made in 1970. It's too clean.

Not welded together. Sensational piece because a man was injured and killed by it. It is one ton of lead. They are heavy and difficult to handle. Serra wanted to do it because it is all about process. he uses nothing but the pieces themselves to hold them up.

All Combinations of Arcs from Corners and Sides; Straight, Not Straight and Broken Lines

[Wall Drawing #146]

Lewitt, Sol

 

The point of the piece is that the drafts person makes up the way they look based on the conceptual drawings of the artist. These loosely predetermined schemes functioned as a means of emphasizing the concept over the execution, decentralizing the artist from the material realization of the finished work. They depend on the condition of light and the way one walks around the space. You are very aware of your movement in space and the flatness of the wall. Challenges your idea of what drawing is.

 Non-Site [Slate From Bangor, Pa]

Documentary Prints of Mirrors in Various Landscapes in Yucatan

[Yucatan Mirror Displacements [1-9]]

Smithson, Robert

 

Did not go into a gallery. It exists as a surrogate of the piece, because the piece disappears. The art magazine is the repository of the surrogates (the pictures in the magazine). You don't see the "real travel". You don't see the mirrors travelling from place to place. The story he wants to give you is how the mirrors are reflecting a place that exists in the minds eye. Documents vary specific spots that you can't find- creates a "no place" in a very specific place. He enhances the interest of a site with the mirrors. The container is amorphous and the mirror is the rigid thing.

 Partially Buried Woodshed

Smithson, Robert

 

He wanted the piece to eventually decay. Inspired by "the blob". About entropic systems, ended up also being about society's breaker (The May 4 shootings at Kent State University) <an inscription was added to the artwork that recontextualized the work>.

Definition

 Spiral Jetty

Smithson, Robert

 

A reference to the whole universe. It compliments the movie Spiral Jetty, made by his wife. Part of the piece is what the earth does to it. The northern section of the Great Salt Lake, where Smithson chose to site Spiral Jetty, was cut off from fresh water supplies when a nearby causeway was constructed by the Southern Pacific Railroad. This encouraged the water's unique red-violet coloration, because it produced a concentration of salt-tolerant bacteria and algae. It evoked a ruined and polluted sci-fi landscape. And, by inserting the Jetty into this damaged section, and using entirely natural materials native to the area, Smithson called attention to environmental blight. He also sought to reference the importance of time in eroding and transforming our environment. The coiling structure of the piece was inspired by the growth patterns of crystals, yet it also resembles a primeval symbol, making the landscape seem ancient, even while it also looks futuristic.

 Amarillo Ramp

Smithson, Robert

 

While surveying the piece, he and his pilot were killed in a helicopter crash. Smithson played no role in the actual construction of Amarillo Ramp. It comprised of a 140-foot diameter partial circle of rock, which ascends from level ground up to a height of 15 feet. At one time the ramp emerged from an artificial body of water called Tecovas Lake, which has since dried out.

Dissipate

Heizer, Michael

 

 Large-scale works that cannot fit into a museum setting, except perhaps in photographs. "Negative" sculpture by cutting directly into the earth. Consists of 5 small trenches lined in wood, inserted into the playa at the Black Rock Desert.

 Double Negative

Heizer, Michael

 

The cut is what unites the piece, and makes the piece activate the otherwise banal landform. The piece is also subject to entropy. The piece is unified through subtraction. It is also additive because the cut pushed the displaced dirt out into Mormon Mesa. An abstract idea carried out on a huge scale.

"starified" a pun on scarification (burning/branding), she stuc audiences gum on her body. she takes on different roles (sexy model, islamic, housewife) exposeing herself to and using the audience as a medium. when she does this she is subjecting herself to "the gaze". the gaze in the situation is random, but the gaze in the photgraphs is high fashion, she is engaging the veiwer. it does not show personal interaction but rather the model taking a pose from fashion or cinema. "because i am performing this, i am making a statement about the objectification of womens bodies".

Bed

Rauschenberg, Robert

  • painted a bed

  • is it bed or art?

  • tried to act in the gap between art and life

  • Bed is one of Rauschenberg’s first “combines,” the artist’s term for his technique of attaching found objects, such as tires or old furniture, to a traditional canvas support. In this work, he took a well-worn pillow, sheet, and quilt, scribbled on them with pencil, and splashed them with paint in a style similar to that of Abstract Expressionist “drip” painter Jackson Pollock.

    Legend has it that these are Rauschenberg’s own pillow and blanket, which he used when he could not afford to buy a new canvas. Hung on the wall like a traditional painting, his bed, still made, becomes a sort of intimate self-portrait consistent with Rauschenberg’s assertion that “painting relates to both art and life…[and] I try to act in that gap between the two.”
