École normale. Sol LeWitt's “Black Cubes (2)”

About

“École normale” consists of one work, Sol LeWitt's “Black Cubes (2)”, accompanied by associated information framed on the walls. At its center, the exhibition is of one sculpture, literally: a “solo exhibition” that comments upon a single work, encircles it with thoughts and puts it in context. The significance of “secondary information” comes into focus as it enters into a relationship with “Black Cubes (2)” and interprets, changes and contextualizes the work. – A context that is poetically re|constructed in the exhibition space: “It is immediately understood that the cube represents the cube, a geometric figure that is incontestably itself.” (LeWitt, 1966)
