This was the case with hieroglyphics, and it remains an important preoccupation today. Although the type of writing we use depends on the particular cultures that have adopted it, it has long been used to declare certain values and beliefs. It is therefore no accident that the first hieroglyphic writing, that of the Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut, is found in the inscriptions of pyramids, pyramids, pyramids, and other ancient monuments. What was once considered primitive, that of the pre-sapiric age, was later transformed by Western science into a mass communication system, and it became a kind of language we can speak and read. In general, the sign of the hieroglyphic was to be a visible sign, visible to the eye and so to speak. This was to become a universal, no-nonsense, sign language.Since the 70s, it has been evident that the hieroglyphic signs, as an evolution of signs, are more and more visible. The signs of this millennium have been increasingly reduced to an eye-level glance; they now appear as the outline of a face, as the outline of a body, as a line of a hand, or, in an image of a hand, as a curve of a finger. The hieroglyphic signs have become more and more the hallmark of the hand, the index finger, and the forehead. The hieroglyphic sign has become a sign of communication between two people. The hieroglyphic sign is no longer a sign of the artist; it is a sign of the hand.

He wasnt letting anyone in except himself, and he didnt mind being there. He wasnt much of a visitor; he was, to put it charitably, a disciplinarian. He had a bodyguard, a lot of makeup on, and a lot of white robes, and he kept to himself. I didnt get to see the whole show, and I dont know why, but there were a few images that I could see. One was a bit of a surprise, since it wasnt a portrait of the artist, but of a guy in a dress, the guy in a suit and tie. This was the closest thing the show had to a Richard Prince show, and it was also the one that most closely followed the intellectual and artistic leanings of the artists at the Bowery.In the late 70s, I spent a lot of time in New York as a member of the Gallery of Art Association. The group was working in a sort of naturalist conceptualist vein, in which the arts were assumed to exist as a kind of cultural entity, and art was thought to be a vehicle for human interaction, a kind of agency. It was a good time to go to the Bowery. And there, in the final space of the gallery, they had a guy like me, a painter, and we were able to show a lot of art together. The idea was to create a space where artists could make their work, and they were free to do so. But they also wanted to create a space where they could play the game of congruence.The Bowery is a beautiful place; it has a great view of Times Square and can be seen from the subway, and it has a wonderful pool with tennis courts and a tennis center.

The works in this exhibition were taken from the past three years and were installed in the center of the gallery. The works had a haunting quality, which was reinforced by their formal and material characteristics. Gurskold had arranged the work in such a way as to create a continuous chain of relationships between the individual elements. Each work was divided into several groups, and they functioned together in relation to each other and to the space. The members of each group were presented in a series of two-dimensional paintings.The works were divided into three groups. One group consisted of large paintings on canvas, several inches in diameter. The artist had made the paintings in response to the eyes of an artist who had recently lost his sight. The artist had recognized the defects in Gurskolds vision, the defects which he had detected in the eyes of an artist who had lost his sight. The small paintings on canvas were thus the product of an almost simultaneous withdrawal and a withdrawal. In a manner similar to the case of the lost sight of the artist, Gurskolds paintings show a vulnerability and a powerlessness, a lack of capacity to see. In Gurskolds case, the artist did not work out a solution to this problem; instead, he offered himself as a metaphor for this vision. The artist is able to see what he cannot see, and his incapacity is what Gurskold notices.The other two groups of works were made of wood, and consisted of small woodblocks covered with paintings and drawings. The wood blocks were hung in a sequence that mirrored the process of painting. The artist had applied a cloth to the wooden strips, creating a surface on which he had painted a series of different motifs.

The story of Renzo Piano is a story of encounters. At the age of three he discovered his father was a former Soviet soldier, whom he loved and respected as a father figure. On January 5, 1987, his father was killed in a bombing. Piano was born in 1978. He had to learn the language of the Soviet Union, a language that he could not fully understand and that had so far been the language of the Soviet Union. In the years since, Piano has developed a personal and extremely personal vocabulary of sign languages that he speaks in a kind of speech therapy, using the sign language of his father as a surrogate. In this exhibition, Renzo Piano and I, Piano used this experience as an opportunity to experiment with the relationship between sign language and the body.Pianos works were displayed in a single line around the gallery. In each piece, a black wooden stool, placed on a black pedestal, formed a lower border of the space. The line was the inner edge of the sign language of the Russian city of Kazan, which Piano learned by heart in the 1950s and which he has kept close to him since then. Piano has made a practice of establishing relationships between sign language and the body. He does not use sign language as a professional tool for his art, but rather as a way of discovering how sign languages can help us understand other sign languages. At the same time, the work of sign language is not an end in itself: Its meaning is determined by the relationship between sign language and the body. The work is a meditation on the communication between sign language and the body. The viewer was invited to sit on one of the chairs, which were arranged in a circle around a table. The work began with the viewer sitting, which was interrupted by a stop sign.

The artist always invites the viewer to the party, or to a party as the case may be. With one exception, all the pieces are made of wood, and they are surrounded by wire mesh, wire mesh, mesh, wire mesh. The pieces are all painted white, and they are hung in a simple grid, so that they all sit one on top of another. These pieces are sometimes placed on pedestals.In fact, the pieces seem to be coming into existence on the spot. The piece Averaging, 1990, consists of three pieces of a large rectangular piece of wood and a slat-like form of wire mesh on top of it. The pieces are each approximately the same size and the slats are the same size as the other two, so that the pieces seem to be being rotated around one another. Theres a certain beauty in that; it is not, however, a coincidence.In the two works that are made of two different kinds of wood (wood and wire mesh) and that show the artists memory bank—theoretical space—theres a slightly different point of view. In Averaging: Traumstellung, 1990, a piece of wood is covered in a white mesh of wire mesh and hangs from the ceiling. The work is a memory of a box. The box is a box—not only because the wooden piece is covered in the mesh but also because the work is a memory of a box, that is, of a piece of wood and wire mesh that falls down and makes a box. The work is a memory of memory and its very failure is an attempt to escape it. Averaging: Traumstellung: The Consequences, 1990, a similar piece, is a similar piece of wood covered in a wire mesh and hangs from the ceiling.
