Anya Galaccio @ Blum & Poe










































When I learned that the fallen, clay bricks were an unintended failure of the sculpture, I was less enchanted by it.  Given its proximity to other natural materials (sliced stones signified as both painting and sculpture, both with a clear register of time in terms of nature (cf. decay and fossil evidence) and culture (Lewitt and Smithson spring to mind), I wondered how t could not be so that these bricks were not a wonderful of entropy. Perhaps they were for reasons unable to disclose... Whatever the confusion, the interplay of materials and forms between reflection and absorption and then composition were enough to enjoy for a moment.
