From Leiflet:
This is my drawing of 'press a weight through life and i will watch this crush you' a stand-out, other worldly installation by Jon Pylypchuk.
Check it out in Builders: Canadian Biennial 2012 at the National
Gallery, Ottawa.
oooch. that's fine! words and art to live by.
leiflet, do you think the title is a "everything solid melts into air" kinda thing?
Oh, that's great. The paradox!
I was wondering about titles and what they mean with this piece because the National Gallery website says the title is "press a weight through life and i will watch it crush you" but my notes from the show and Jon's work on the web have the title "press a weight through life and i will watch this crush you." I think that change matters.
I'm sticking with the artist not the institution.
"All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind."
