Andrew Atwood, ...And Pedestals, SCI-Arc Gallery
It should be obvious, but this installation isn’t a vacuous container waiting to be filled, or an imposed absence in the wake of withdrawal or in the name of sobriety. It’s about facing the strange blankness of an installation about an installation’s liminal elements. It’s about those things that take up so much time and consume so much of the budget. It’s about reading something when there is nothing there to read. It likes to quibble. Or maybe it’s even more obvious. Maybe, like the title (that we are no longer sure about) this installation is about the anxiety produced by blankness and the terrifying struggle with the terrifying question - are you sure this is enough? Or is it too much? About Andrew Atwood Andrew Atwood is a principal of First Office, an architecture practice founded with Anna Neimark in downtown Los Angeles.
