  • “It’s giving some ballast to this thing here (time) that weights nothing and is being calculated by a quartz movement that weights like a feather, giving some substance to that- actually quite a lot.”
    —Richard Artschwager

     

    Artschwager's multiples offer visual and analytical contradictions, subversively engaging simultaneously with the vernaculars of Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptualism: the Pop derivation from utilitarian objects, the Minimal application of industrial materials, and the Conceptual impulse to engage with the ideological structures of language. Twisting established dichotomies of artistic and industrial production, Artschwager blurs the line between what is faux versus real, handmade versus manufactured, functional versus useless, and ordinary object versus high art.
