, but it will also be burned into the canvas. The piece is a kind of conceptual and material anthropology, and the symbolism is in the forms and not in the content. In the end, the artist seems to be saying that the only way to really understand the moon is to put it back together again.
chocolate-covered tennis ball simulating a bounce on the surface of the moon. the chocolate will be covered in moon dust every time it bounces. and the tennis ball is also covered in moon dust, a reference to the moon, which is also the subject of a painting in which a pair of black-and-white glasses are set in a portrait of a tennis partner, but in which the glasses are replaced by a pair of white ones, suggesting the metaphor of the doubles as a mirror image of the self. As in the previous work, there is a certain irony in this play with the self, but it is also a parody of self-referentiality.The other paintings in the show were all untitled, though the two in the show that were most clearly self-referential were a small one, Untitled (Sculptural Study), and a large one, Untitled (Nose View), both 2003, and also untitled. In both, the nose is rendered as a pair of cutout circles, a play on the circle as a fragment of the body, a fragment of the self. The circles are joined to the circles in the painting and to the circles of the canvas, and they are a reference to the faces of the artists grandmother, who lived in the same house. The circles in the painting are also cutouts of the self, and they also function as a symbol of the self as a fragment of the self. The circles are also marks of the self as such—of the self as a fragment of the self, as a sign of self-reflexivity. But the circles function as signs of self-reflexivity, and they also function as a sign of self-reflexivity, for they also function as a reflection of self-reflexivity, a refractive fragment of self-reflexivity. The circle, in other words, is the sign of self-reflexivity, and the circles are the sign of the self as such.
. The view from the air is spectacular and oddly exhilarating. The art is heavy with allusions to a great many things: the early American avant-garde, the space program, and the space age. Theres a bit of the Space Race here, but the art is not overtly political. Its a little like the Space Shuttle, a little like a nuclear blast.The other pieces are more comic. The "Emperor and the Nude, 1992, is a little figurative, like a piece of paper cut out to size. The face of the figure is obscured by a mask that sits atop the head, and the face is covered by a huge veil of gold leaf. The gold leaf is a detail from a gouache drawing, and it is a bit too neat. The face is a little too big and the neck is too short, and the paint is a little too pale, too. This painting has a certain charm, but it is also too heavy. The colors are too soft, too alluring, and the canvas edges are a little too easy. The idea of a figural figuration is good, but the paint is too white, and the painting looks too easy.
chocolate-covered tennis ball simulating a bounce on the surface of the moon. the chocolate will be covered in moon dust every time it bounces, but the rubber will be left untouched. A pair of dangling cords, suspended from the ceiling, and a pair of white latex-covered shoes, suspended from the ceiling, suggest that the work is about an inexplicable behavior of a body without skin. The latex is the material of the body, and the shoes suggest that we are the body of the sky, and that the air we breathe is in turn the air we are, or the moon. The relationship between the two is one of transposition, and one is tempted to ask: Isnt it the case that the body is always on the verge of becoming the other?The second piece, which is also about transposition, is an empty cigar box. Inside is a tiny recording of a voice saying, If theres nothing to see, thats all. The piece is about the merging of language and the body, and it is about the impossibility of seeing. In a sense, the voice is the body, and it is the body that is missing. But in another sense, the voice is saying, It is all but impossible to see, and it is the body that is missing. And the body that is missing is also missing its own body, which is made of rubber. This is also a body that is partially covered in chocolate, but the chocolate is an actual part of the body, and the chocolate is also the body of the body that is missing. The body that is missing is also the body that is partially covered in chocolate. This body is also the body that is partially covered in chocolate, but the chocolate is also the body that is partially covered in the chocolate. The body that is partially covered in chocolate is also the body that is partially covered in the chocolate. And so on. The body that is partially covered in chocolate is also the body that is partially covered in the chocolate. The body that is partially covered in the chocolate is also the body that is partially covered in the chocolate.
chocolate-covered tennis ball simulating a bounce on the surface of the moon. the chocolate will be covered in moon dust every time it bounces; a bit of a joke, perhaps, but a bit too lighthearted for me. It seems a bit too much like a joke, and also too much like a treat.But the piece has a lot of content. It is a work of pure fantasy, and a fantasy that is a bit too serious to be fun. Its a fantasy about a certain type of person, but not the type of person we would want to meet. And it is a fantasy that is not too much like a real person, for the real person is too much like a very good-looking cartoon character. It is a fantasy that is all too real for the world. The chocolate is a fantasy that is all too real for the world. The chocolate is a fantasy that is all too real for us.The chocolate will be covered in moon dust every time it bounces; the chocolate is a fantasy that is all too real for us. The chocolate is a fantasy that is all too real for us. The chocolate is a fantasy that is all too real for us.The piece is a fantasy of the moon, and also a fantasy of the earth. The moon is a very big and beautiful object, and it is not the only thing in the world that is a very big and beautiful object. The earth, on the other hand, is a very small and insignificant object. The moon is a big object, but it is nothing more than a big moon, which is all we have. The earth is a very small object, but it is not a small object; it is a very big and beautiful object, and we have all seen it. The moon is a very big object, but it is not a very big object. The earth is a very small object, but it is not a very big object. The moon is a very big object, but it is not a very big object. The earth is a very small object, but it is not a very big object.
