Inside-out corner
[19 November]
Eva Hesse, Accession (1968)
Eva Hesse again. Although the title confuses me (Wikipedia: "In a museum, an object is accessioned into the collection when it becomes the legal property of the museum, it is assigned a catalogue number, and formal information about its provenance is noted and recorded. (When the museum disposes of the object, it is formally "de-accessioned" from the collection.)"), I really like this sculpture - and it makes me think about how the corner can be turned 'inside out': it can be smooth on the outside, and articulated on the inside. Just thought I'd share that insight.
By the way, did you notice I just wrote this string: .)"),? Believe it was actually correct, too. Ah, the fun you can have with language.
Another Hesse: Hang-up (1965). I've saw this at the Tate Modern the other year, and it's got this incredible force to it - you're almost scared to lean inside of that curve. It totally demarcates space. Very cool.
And while we're looking at corners in art, here's Sol LeWitt's Loopy Doopy (1999):
