Editor: Here we have David Saunders's "Rhythm from Three Intervals," a black and white geometric work. It feels like a visual representation of deconstruction. What social or political ideas do you see reflected in this piece? Curator: Considering Saunders's work in the context of post-war abstraction, can we see these shifting intervals as a metaphor for societal change and the fracturing of old orders? Are the intervals a critique of rigid structures? Editor: That's a fascinating point. I hadn't considered the historical context that way. The idea of societal change really resonates. Curator: Absolutely. And how might the absence of color contribute to this interpretation? Does it amplify the sense of starkness or perhaps suggest a stripping away of superficiality? Editor: It definitely emphasizes the core structure. I'm leaving with a lot to think about. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! This piece invites ongoing dialogue about the spaces between things, both visually and socially.
