Way-finding Lecture Notes


·      Minimalist sculpture
o   Looking at not just the illusion of space but actual space and how we perceive the idea of space and interacts with it
o   Robert Rimen (?) 3D sculpture and manipulating space and exploring line – interrupting the way we view space
o   Carl Andre – interrupting space on the floor and creating a path due to this interruption (At Nelson)
§  Wood planks creating a path back to a blank wall
o   Donald Judd – interrupting space with horizontal tubing
o   Site specific, often permanent things that interrupt the way we interact with the space
o   Sculpture with the implication of direction – could serve as a landmark or orientation device or a place for an orientation map or a directional device
o   Robert Morse – directional devices by the incline of the plane
§  Installation within a gallery – the integrity, form, beauty, and simplicity – manipulating how someone moves through the space  - dividing the space into two rooms and also a seating device – triangle on the wall changing the space so it isn’t perpendicular
o   Perception and Experience
§  Limestone chunks on the floor – hollow
§  Sword and butterfly – reminds of swimming pool water and the sense of the blue of the sky
§  Public monument in a private space
§  Restaurant - overhang gives suggestion of another room and makes it more private
§  Andy Goldsworthy
