The Matter of Time
Richard Serra
Richard Serra, Bight #1-#9
(2011). Gemini G.E.L.
• Like Richard Serra once said: ‘Drawing is a verb.’
• On the wall, it’s hard to see BOOM-BURG as an inanimate
object. It still seems like it’s doing something. Lines
stretch. Lines bend. Lines flow and converge. Together, they make
the wall vibrate, to appear as a space one can move in to, not just
along-side of. - Emily Sall
