Hanging

I work on the wall. During the process, the sheet faces me in the same position in which it will later be viewed. Hanging therefore does not begin after the work is finished. It belongs to the conditions of its making.

The sheet remains a sheet. It is not framed. Its edges remain visible. Eyelets, hangers, and nails belong to the work. They connect sheet and wall. The hanging does not alter the work. It continues its spatial situation.

Since the Renaissance, the frame has separated image and wall. In the twentieth century, artists such as Blinky Palermo and Richard Tuttle expanded this relationship. My works build on this development. The sheet remains visible as a sheet. The wall remains a wall.

With the hanging, space enters.
