[diameter]60 x 190, [diameter]60 x 190 1995

Editor: Miroslaw Balka’s '[diameter]60 x 190, [diameter]60 x 190' presents as a series of rusted metal forms. The scale is imposing, almost architectural. What can you tell me about the arrangement of forms? Curator: The interplay of cylindrical and rectangular forms creates a dialogue between mass and void. Observe how the rust contributes to the overall texture, a testament to the material's transformation over time. It invites a phenomenological reading. Editor: Phenomenological... like how we experience it? Curator: Precisely. How does your body relate to these shapes as you move through the space? Consider the lines, the negative space, and the materiality of the forms in relation to the human scale. Editor: I see it differently now. The rust isn’t just decay; it’s part of the work’s language. Thanks! Curator: Indeed. The artist invites us to contemplate the poetics of space and time through material and form.
