BERNAR VENET: FROM MINIMALISM TO EQUATIONS A lot of debate centered around modern and contemporary art has been based on the problem of meaning. Since the demise of representational art, philosophers and art critics have wrestled with the problem of finding meaning in the abstract. From Emmanuel Kant to Roland Barthes, Clement Greenberg to Jacques Derrida, different theories have been proposed on how to interpret a piece of modern art. Bernar Venet, however, is determined to challenge the well-worn ideas and theories of art. He was impressed with the work of artists such as Carl Andre and Richard Morris, who created pieces with no intuitive composition or meaning; in his own words, a ‘radical new way’ to create art. At around the same time, Venet was experimenting with presenting industrial products as sculpture. This led to a series of industrial drawings, which allowed him to develop the idea of exhibiting diagrams further. The theme of mathematics is something Venet would come back to later in his career.

Bernar Venet’s steel sculpture Three Indeterminate Lines was presented as an outdoor installation in HEM’s launch exhibition at the Crescent Garden, where its strong lines and brutal metallic texture seem to open up a heterogeneous space that can be traversed. With his representative steel sculptures and unique mathematical language, this exhibition will present a comprehensive view of the artist’s artistic practice from the 1960s to present days. Mathematics, modes, formulas, symbols, and diagrams, seemingly these words are difficult to associate with art. “To interpret is to impoverish, to deplete the world—in order to set up a shadow world of ’meanings.’
