Slant/Light/Volume
Throughout his career, Californian artist Robert Irwin has pondered whether we ever have an absolutely pure or direct moment in front of a work of art.
This installation piece, Slant/Light/Volume, represents his effort to foster such an experience.
Reader Dan, who submitted this for Minimalissimo, says it is absolutely beautiful and ethereal. He adds: Great manipulation of lighting and scrim fabric produce a work that looks plain, but feels indescribable.
With reactions like that, it sounds like Irwin achieved what he aimed for.
You can experience Slant/Light/Volume yourself until November 2010 at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

love it :-) reminds me of Martin Creeds turner prize!!!
If only every house had one of these types of room – a perfect minimal space to reflect, chill and admire…
Correction – This piece will not be up till November because it came down a couple of months ago already.
