untitled 89-4, Repositioning MMCA

pigment and ground coffee, branches, fish heads, chicken feet, etc. diameter approx. 7.5 m, 2010

A deep blue circle.

Completion of form,

stability of the center—

only an impression within the image frame.

This work does not operate through structure.

Blue particles, coarse enough to be measured,

accumulate—

yet the edge collapses,

refusing to close.

Form is already

unsettled from within.

In the white cube,

a vast deep ultramarine

under bright light

radiates a mad blue.

The floor loses its depth,

or rather—

appears to rise,

as if suspended in zero gravity.

On the white wall,

low-hung remnants—

bones, branches—

having lost direction, time, surface,

belong nowhere.

They do not explain.

They disturb.

Between where one stands

and how one sees,

minute fractures emerge.

An irreversible stimulation of the senses

moves toward perception before recognition,

and asks:

what was it that you saw?

Before this vast blue,

what is happening,

and how—

may remain unseen.

For this is not an event,

but the persistence

of what remains.

Even the faint smell.
