Scottish artist Aeneas Wilder breaks his sculpture Untitled No. 133 in an instant at Exploratorium.
Both scientific and artistic ideas demand a constant flow of intellectual “making” and “breaking.”
The Exploratorium makes this experimental process literal in a new artwork in which the Scottish artist Aeneas Wilder, known for transient artworks that are architectural-like structures, stacked and balanced, but never fastened, created Untitled No. 133 out of wood, laboriously adding to it day by day, through a ten-day building process. That work is now on view.
On Labor Day, September 3 at 4pm, the Exploratorium will break the sculpture, and the public can watch what represents copious hours of labor and focused attention fall to the floor, reduced to the materials it originated from. -- www.exploratorium.edu
