When I first saw this sculpture, I thought that it looked like it was just thrown together without really thinking about it. It was just full of chrome poles and metal ropes. There was not a whole lot of material either, I later realized. Although, the complex shadows on the ground make it look even more complex than it really is. There is lots of negative space that has nothing in it. Then I thought to myself, how does it stay up, and how do the beams and ropes remain straight? Our tour guide said that it was just coincidence that it ended up capable of standing when physics students tested it out. I like what randomly placed anything-ness looks like, although I now know that it is hardly random. Instead, it is structural engineering! I can tell also that it was created using assemblage, due to the screws and such. And so that is what I thought of the sculpture, Mozart 1 by Kenneth Snelson. |
