Cuts in Corian

September 16, 2010





I remember a magic trick from when I was a kid, where you would hold up a piece of paper and say that with one cut, you could make a hole big enough to climb through... of course, your obliging audience wouldn't believe you, so you'd then proceed to fold the paper and cut a back and forth slit, which you would then stretch out and actually step through.
.
This project reminds me of that.
.
And it is kind of unbelievable that it is made entirely from Corian.
.
A piece of installation art for the Bronx Museum, this project by Vito Acconci is a study of our understanding of public spaces. I'm not totally sure what I think of the project... I wish I could see it in person.
.
Has anyone checked it out?
