Immediately on the first page of this section I came across
a piece that works for what I posted about previously.
The work by Maholy-Nagy of the “Light-Space modulator”:
takes
a bit of both the corporate art aesthetic as well as some true artwork. At
first it can give off the look of a meaningless piece of corporate art, but
when you read about it and look back at it, you understand that it has more to
it. The piece itself has a beauty to it, the sharp metal is balanced by the
diversity in the forms and the overall structure. What makes it truly
interesting, for me, is that the piece is more about the shadow the piece than
the actual sculpture.
It makes it seem like the artist is saying this piece isn't about
them, it isn't about their work. It’s about the light and the way it behaves.
The piece seems humble by giving the credit to something other than the artist.
I like it!
