Description:Five sheep with bodies made of concrete, created as casts of removals boxes. Some of the sheep also have legs made of iron struts, painted in different colours. The faces of the sheep are drawn directly onto the concrete bodies using charcoal pencil.
Hist. crit. notes:“The bodies of the sheep in the Bozen/Bolzano exhibition are made of moulded concrete, created as casts from packaging boxes, with legs made of iron struts. The comical faces drawn in charcoal on the front of these structures not only arouse sympathy: with their seriality and deliberate absence of associations and content, they also play with the conventions of minimalist sculpture. The small herd also implies an ironic analogy with the behaviour of visitors.”
