Jac Leirner Jewel, 2020
Steel cables
70 cm (27 1/2 in) each, 7 parts
A series of 70 cm steel cables, attached to one another to form a gently dropping curve, organized by diminishing thickness of the individual wires, Jewel is characteristic of Jac Leirner’s repurposing of found or store- bought materials to produce works that playfully recall the legacy of Minimalist sculpture, albeit with a utilitarian twist: the materials she uses appear to embody their function even as there are largely freed of any purpose, thus the cables connect, but only to one another.
First conceived for an exhibition at the CAAM - Centro Atlantico de Arte Moderno at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (2012).
