Minimal comforts : an on-going series
From the objects of Donald Judd to the grids of Agnes Martin, minimalism tends to remove or repress the presence of the human body. This tendency underscores an all too common ailment: an all-knowing mind that asserts an absolute, disembodied clarity.
My contemporary response is to introduce over-ther-counter drugs and pain relievers (from Pepto-Bismol to melatonin to lip moisturizer) into traditional minimalist forms. This move, done with a dose of humor, intends to revive bodily presence and fosters a more integrated way of seeing, feeling and relating.
