AC: Shit Models 2008

Editor: This is Abraham Cruzvillegas' "AC: Shit Models," a sculpture composed of mixed media. The precarious balance of materials really strikes me. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The verticality of the wooden support contrasts with the seemingly random arrangement on the platform. Consider the interplay of textures: the rough, earthy material suspended above juxtaposed with the geometric precision of the bricks and boxes below. Editor: It's almost like a miniature landscape. Is there a reason for the materials used? Curator: Indeed. The artist often uses found objects. The arrangement establishes a formal dialogue between chaos and order, prompting inquiry into the nature of construction and deconstruction itself. Editor: I never considered how much the materials influence the sculpture's structure. Curator: Precisely! Paying attention to these formal relationships allows for a deeper understanding.
