Tate = thoughts.

Reading RW 'Transient Spaces' and this has given light to a lot of ideas about space/architecture and objects/sculpture. 'Portrait of the original building'...'absense becomes presence'...'an object that accumulates history of the surroundings'...

Went t' Tate, there were a few interesting pieces that caught my eye...
Lucio Fontana- 'SPATIAL CONCEPT' neither paintings nor sculptures, creates holes in canvas, believes that making holes creates a connection to the free space, hence a connection to the spatial than material.




Eva Hesse- ADDENDUM Hemispheres placed at increasing distances determined by mathematical systems, and apparently this was the thing to do around minimalism (hanne?!) She commented that systems were 
hardly rational and that serial art is another way of repeating absurdity.



Carl Andre- Layed out 'activating space'. Observing that it becomes a record of everything thats happened to it.
