Cultural Structures 1992

"Cultural Structures" is a 1992 sculpture by Harriet Bart. The artwork is a minimalist piece that features a plumb bob and a compass, suspended within a steel frame. The precision tools, often associated with construction and design, take on a symbolic role in Bart's work, suggesting ideas of order, measurement, and human ingenuity. The juxtaposition of these tools with the minimalist design challenges viewers to consider the fundamental structures that shape our understanding of the world and culture.
