Yes, it looks like you've been anything but an iconophile in this business, where words stack up as much on one side as pictures on the other.Robert Morris, "Professional Rules"This collection of articles explores the work of Robert Morris through the prism of writing, thus offering a new reading of a central work of the visual arts since the sixties, in turn associated with minimalism, conceptualism or land art again.Although Morris is often called a theorist, his written work involves a wide variety of genres, from art criticism to fiction and autobiography. Apart from this practice of language, the written word inserted in his prints, sculptures, performances and installations weaves a tight network between text and plastic work. This book brings together contributions from art historians, literary scholars, philosophers, but also filmmakers and writers.
