Agnes Denes Dialectic
Triangulation: a visual philosophy, series VII, close
up view.
|
The systems
of numbers synthesise a system based on logic creating a calculated composition
interacting with formulated forms engraining an essence of a coded reality.
This is prominent within works such as; “Dialectic Triangulation: a visual
philosophy, series VII” , where a desire for the stability of the triangular
form which charts links to psychological and sociological structures such as
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is established. This series of drawings is based
upon organic pyramid forms which propose a relativistic and timeless sense of
existence, creating an almost cyclic transcendental structure to Denes work.
Although the
drawings can be misunderstood, they still exist counter to misinterpretation
and understanding, formulated under structured conditions a viewer’s
perceptions can never change the inherent essence and being of the drawings. Uncertainty
is established in a commentary and conversation of future doubt woven within
the sculptural subsidies in works such as Wheatfield
A
Confrontation: Battery Park Landfill, Downtown Manhattan, 1982.
