Dots Dots and Less Dots

So, I know you know Tauba Auerbach's conceptual letter and word series. And if you don't, you may find her reconstructed Bible at the SFMoMa amongst other objects in the Design section. Her new series based on chance, comprise of; an abstract minimalist painting of crumpled papers blown up. Her floor composed of randomly thrown tiles like dice resembling a pattern on a computer generated postage stamp, and airbrushed works on paper. Tomorrow at 5pm, Tauba gives a short talk at the Wattis on the 2nd floor in the gallery space featuring her work amongst others (I presume. As I didnt receive the official press release, but rather a hello letter from Tauba). I'm excited to see her new offering in a series of works that I hope are Tauba: totally fun, accessible but brilliantly brainy. She knows how to make conceptual works WORK. Like Sol Lewitt in aesthetic, and almost in practice, as she has a few assistants she could direct entirely like a Yoko Ono instruction painting, her works are thrilling to engage with and that simple kind of "why didn't I think of that" type stuff artists are envious of. In a recent collaboration with a scholar in Oxford, Tauba's research has yet again set her on another adventure deriving symbols for scientific formulas and theories. Good luck in New York and beyond, Tauba. You don't need our blessing! FPxBN
