Untitled (to a Man, George McGovern)
1972
Sculpture, 316 x 316 x 10.3 cm.
Materials: strip lights
Collection: Collection VAM, Eindhoven (Inv. no. 1107).
In a corner of the room in the museum, 25 circular TL-tubes are fixed on the wall according to a specific patron. It’s a simple construction, which can be seen as a sculpture in itself as well as having a direct relationship to the space. This happens also since the fluorescent light that invades the room changes the way the viewer experiences the space: massive corners change into optical triangles and the material properties of floors, walls and ceilings disappear under influence of light reflections.
