Minimalism

Minimalism in contemporary art is usually reduced to reduction itself. Yet its real force lies in the relationship between object, space, body and attention. From the 1960s onward, serial forms, industrial materials and restrained gestures shifted the work away from private expression and towards the viewer’s physical encounter with it.

This archive brings together articles, exhibitions, interviews and critical readings of Minimalism, including the ways its visual language survives, mutates and acquires political meaning in contemporary practice. Less, after all, is never automatically neutral.
