A Propos (Reflecteur de Reflecteur) #58' was originally one component in a monumental, labyrinthine installation


sintesi del comunicato stampa

Over nearly four decades Kosuth has explored the relationships of art, language, and philosophy, using a wide range of media. 'A Propos (Reflecteur de Reflecteur) #58' was originally one component in a monumental, labyrinthine installation consisting of eighty-six quotations from dozens of philosophers, fabricated in vinyl letters on glass, backlit in neon. The quotations, affixed to the walls in vertical and horizontal patterns, do not add up to a single worldview but rather form a multiplicity of intellectual voices played out in an intricate intellectual game. The phrase in this piece is taken from the social anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss and refers back to Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud. 'A Propos' thus evokes the way philosophy is built on arguments by and with earlier thinkers.
