Crossing boundaries of media, the art of Heimo Zobernig, who emerged on the scene in the early 1980s, has been defined by searching reflections on colors, materials, and aesthetic effects. In this instance, a cardboard object on a wooden pedestal forms a contorted infinite loop. The work’s formal appearance is the medium of an interrogation of the exhibition framework. The museum itself becomes the object of investigation. The box serving as base gestures toward the conditions under which works of art are presented, stored, shipped, and manipulated. By relying on the most inexpensive supplies, Zobernig also demonstrates how a work of art can question the legitimacy of its own presence in the museum setting.
