28 YEARS IN THE IMPLICATE ORDER by Pascual Sisto (via VideominutoPopTV)

“Work based on the concepts of Quantum Theory and Quantum Mechanics as described by David Bohm. The video consists of a fixed locked off shot of an empty parking lot. A centered sodium vapor light illuminates the desolate landscape. 28 red balls bounce up and down in a chaotic random order. Each ball signifying an individual entity bouncing at its own rate and speed. As the video progresses towards its mid point, the balls align themselves in a harmonious blanket. Breathing in and out as a cumulative frequency, they reach the point where they all bounce at the same precise moment and then resume to go back into chaos.”

[sarah sze]

i chose to do a presentation on her last year in gregory volk’s critical issues class.. and it was hard to limit myself to ten minutes. i could talk about her genius for hours. everything she does is chaotic, big, sprawling, dynamic, interesting, etc. etc. etc., but nothing she does is ever the same. yet she uses the same materials over and over again. i have so much respect for artists who are able find a new way to make every piece different and interesting, yet have a consistent and coherent body of work.

she uses whats available to her, and she transforms her materials she can turn plastic bottles and paper clips into something interesting. and she challenges herself.. i read an interview with her in which she explained that she writes down one rule for every piece she works on. for her piece “Second Means of Egress (Yellow),” she limited herself to one material. a huge limitation, but still, the piece is consistent with her others.

“Past certain ages or certain wisdoms it is very difficult to look with wonder; it is best done when one is a child; after that, and if you are lucky, you will find a bridge of childhood and walk across it.””

“I love the feeling of being, not carefree, not centered exactly—I don’t doubt myself in quite the same way. And if I go to a museum it’s funny to look at friends’ work—I know certain artists by heart. It feels accessible and I can read it. It used to be like Sanskrit and cuneiform; now it’s like memos and love letters—I don’t have to think about why, I just know it. When you’re young, you don’t know objects in that way.”

judy pfaff. coroa de espinhos. 1998.

judy pfaff, a forerunner to phoebe washburn and sarah sze, two of my favorite sculptors. the three are incredibly well-versed in controlled chaos.
