Sam Durant at Blum & Poe


This piece connects in many ways with the viewpoints of Krauss, more specifically in how the functionality of sculpture is removed in order to better appreciate a piece as art. 

This piece stands as an example of two items that are identified as useful objects that would not necessarily be considered art in their own rights. However, they are combined in a way that removes all sense of use and therefore are made into sculpture. Krauss considers the topic of the term complex and how this functions as the correct term to use in context with that which exists outside landscape, architecture, or -in this case- commodity.
