...Antonakos selected the four artists (upon whom time has since granted the benediction of fame) because their modes of working were so disparate. Ryman is the consummate painter, whose variations in white paint on all manner of supports are about the empirical discovery of facture. He has said that "there is never a question of what to paint, but only how to paint." Artschwager (whose work was exhibited in the Carpenter Center earlier this year) creates objects, often boxes, with no clear function, and painted images based on commercial sources. LeWitt has been an avatar of the conceptual art movement...
...Ryman had signed a glass artist's palette, complete with dried patches of mixed paint, and wrapped it in the linen he used to stretch his canvases. LeWitt enclosed a tiny white cube, in which was a scrap of paper with ambiguous instructions: "a line, not straight, corner to corner." Artschwager created within the frame of steel a wooden box that opened onto ever smaller boxes. Buren avoided the responsibility of prediction altogether and had given his box to a friend to fill. Inside, the other artist had lined the box with Buren's signature red-and-white stripes...
...more visceral than Richards's pale metal sculptures. Boutelle's "Ambivalent Passages" looks like an open gash with blood pouring forward in hues of petrified amber. But her most spectacular piece, "Ambivalent Passages III," seems to defy this straight sanguine categorization. The layers of cheesecloth, beeswax, shellac, oil bar, paint and rice paper that Boutelle uses in her art are here transformed into a composition reminiscent of Gustav Klimt's "Water Serpents," mermaids entangled in algae and veins, now in vivid carmine hues...
...RANDY: VES. Definitely, VES. Just her use of color in her wardrobe-she has the pink and blue and the green--she's a very visual person. And her shoes kind of look like they have paint splattered on them...
Corps participants would be divided into small groups (so they wouldn't only talk to each other), and sent to work in places where summa is a prepositional phrase ("the summa two and four is six") and the people are still happy and normal. The students could tutor, babysit, paint houses, sack groceries or wait tables; whatever needs doing and isn't getting done. The Harvard Corp's tasks might not be exactly like the Peace Corps. For instance, a village well dug by VES concentrators might periodically shoot out flame and speak in the voice of John Lennon, making...
