About This Item
Los Angeles.: Mizuno Gallery., 1975. Postcard, mailed.. (9 x 11.4 cm).. Announcement card for Robert Irwin’s site-conditioned installation, “Scrim veil”, installed at the Mizuno Gallery, Los Angeles, Oct 21 - Nov 15, 1975. The scrim, or large sheet of gauze cloth, was stretched tightly from the ceiling. Held taught by a black metal bar, the scrim ended somewhere below the participants’ eye level. A mirror image of that black band appeared on the floor beneath it, extending up the walls to the edge of the scrim and thus forming a transparent rectangle. The space above the black bar would come in to shape perceptually as a solid, then suddenly slip out of focus, causing the void below to become the true reality. The piece changed continuously throughout the day as the light, at first pale and yellow, became cooler and then slowly turned soft mauve as the light disappeared. The recto of the announcement card for the exhibition is simply printed with two horizontal parallel black lines.
