Jonathan Borofsky (b. 1942, USA)
All Is One, 1980

By the look of it, I don’t like it. But I cannot be sure, I have not been there. What interests me here, however, is the sense of indeterminacy – what is art here, how and why. Somehow I imagine that there may have been a rather specific “artistic intent” that might render the whole scene very clear, but I don’t know. In particular I am curious about the table tennis in the midst of things that are more recognisable as ‘art’. I guess, I am still trying to wrap my head around the installation concept… but this is nevertheless pertinent in terms of my interest for framing – what’s inside the frame and what’s outside, where is the frame, how does it shape the meaning…
