Binion's distinctive insertion of narrative and personal history and his emphasis on content, distinguished his work from the more reductive
Minimalist practices of other artists and continues to do so today.
One wonders if Weber and Stritzler - Levine realised just how far off the map they would go when independent institutional curator José Roca, a native
of Colombia who now lives in Bogotá, agreed to take on the project.1 Inspired by a show
of Andean chuspas — bags made from coca leaves — that would run simultaneously in the BGC Focus Gallery, Roca envisioned immersive environments in which the paradoxes, polarities and points
of contact between diverse artistic
practices are explored through the tropes
of the river and weaving.2 The works themselves provide their own context as they interact with each
other and viewers, who are given a
minimalist illustrated pamphlet as their only guide to what they will encounter in the gallery spaces.
Like
other artists
of his generation, Zucker used
minimalist logic to structure his artistic
practice, but he sought to expand this logic to maximal effect.
