Upstairs at Max's, Heilmann, said, she saw the young stars of Minimalism on the rise and admired Donald Judd, Carl Andre and Robert Smithson. She sought to win their attention by hurling outlandish provocations. (International Herald Tribune -- Arts)
The idea of a bright tomorrow is so yesterday Sep 20, 2008
I bring up the Canadian duo of Hendrika Sonnenberg and Chris Hanson (now in New York), artists who painstakingly replicate everyday objects in carved Styrofoam, or Vancouver's Damian Moppett, who has been known to refashion the modernist masterpieces of Carl Andre out of twigs and twine, or the duo Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky, who are currently showing their new tinfoil sculptures at Pari Nadimi Gallery in Toronto. The installation art of Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn comes up the noted... (Globe and Mail -- Entertainment)

Irons, Hair Dryers & Artworks Jan 5, 2008
We might see in this a distant remembrance of Richard Serra's uses of gravity nearly 40 years ago to resurrect sculpture from the floorbound dead end to which Carl Andre had apparently taken it.

However, public artwork should take a back seat to something of higher value, such as education," said Joy Stricker, a resident who has criticized the town's expenditure. Resident Linda Dente wholeheartedly supports what she considers a tiny expenditure for the sculpture - less than $1 per West Hartford household. She said she thinks it not only will delight people but also might contribute to the town's economic vitality. "As a taxpayer in West Hartford, I'm sure I'm not alone in appreciating... (FOX61, CT)
