Much like Caldas' last show (see an earlier post from 2010), I enjoyed looking, the simplicity, the elegance and the proposals. Just like before, things lying between spatial dimension seems of great import and apparently more complicated than one might first think; note that "Step by Step" was to be thought about as a whole in four parts. I suppose, as stated, it's not quite a diptych but something like that. Whatever the case, I missed the nuance.
Further, as with all of my rants about reflected surfaces hindering a a potentially uninterrupted view, the works that one might be tempted to call flat works (2D) are actually listed with a dimension of 3." I'm assuming this accounts for the relief objects within the frame and not the frame itself (Note: I cropped the frames out to focus on the mounted materials). So many questions seemingly outside of the work, but yet somehow I feel like they are the pertinent ones here, especially as the work suggests so much ambiguous spatial condition, albeit open-ended literally within the work AND the body of work presented here.
My two boys enjoyed looking at it with me. Their observed fragments are listed here in quotes: "Thin. Lines. Round. Bottles. Objects. Security Lasers Guarding a Very Ancient Toilet. Bars/Jail. 3D plans. "
