A propos de cet article

B : 10.7 × 16 cm, Leporello, 18 pages, limited edition: 1200 Ex - Robert Morris entire uvre is a single work a continuous project altered daily. 1 With this reference to Morris 1969 piece Continuous Project Altered Daily (Fig. 7a-7b),2 Thomas Krens summed up the complexity of the artist s production in his preface to the catalog of the 1994 Morris retrospective held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. In fact, Krens was renewing the artist s own allusion to CPAD. Indeed, the previous year, Morris had given this title to an anthology of his writings published since the 1960s.3 In its title and its conceit, the 1969 piece completed and shown over the course of twenty days in March in the warehouse of the Leo Castelli gallery in New York had foregrounded the notions of perpetual motion and permanent calling-into-question that the artist and the commentator both designated as the essential ferments in Morris process. CPAD, considered one of his emblematic experiments of the 1960s, and categorized as process art, earth art, or anti-form,4 had acquired by the mid 1990s the additional value of being a pragmatic work, a veritable metaphor of Morris complexity.
