Indepth Arts News: "Richard Serra" 1999-03-27 until 1999-09-17 Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao Bilbao, , ES Spain
Viewers were encouraged to move
around--and sometimes on, in, and through--the work and
encounter it from multiple perspectives. Many of Serras
sculptures (including those on view) cannot be fully understood without a
peripatetic examination. Over the years Serra has expanded his spatial and
temporal approach to sculpture and has focused primarily on large-scale,
site-specific works, which create a dialogue with a particular architectural,
urban, or landscape setting.
The current exhibition presents Serras Torqued Ellipses, the artists most recent
ruminations on the physicality of space and the nature of sculpture. The ongoing
series of ellipses, eight of which are included in the exhibition, remain tied to the
artistic vocabulary Serra has developed over the past thirty years, but also
reflect a significant departure. While the physicality of space has long been a
concern for the artist, in these new works space has become his material.
