Blind Time Drawings, 1973-2000.
For the first time eighty-one Blind Time Drawings will be on show together, selected from the six series that make up the complete corpus of this work to which Morris dedicated more than 30 years. From the early drawings of 1973 up to the more recent Moral Drawings of 2000, with a particular emphasis on the fourth series, a group of works inspired by the writings of the philosopher Donald Davidson (Drawing with Davidson, 1991). Blind Time Drawings were created by the artist with his eyes closed or blindfolded, based on a short drafting of the general lines he would follow in working, in order to emphasize the gap between idea and actual materialization, between what the artist sets out to do and the constraints set by his body. The writings are an integral part of the work and are often found in the margins of the drawing itself. Not being able to see the paper while I draw undermines every idea of intentionality and raises the issue of the statute of error as a limiting factor. For those who work blindfold, the notion of talent becomes completely meaningless. The process in itself does not interest me, it is nothing but a means. Robert Morris Furthermore, there will be a number of Morris’s masterpieces on show, seminal works that have inspired both minimalism and conceptual art, such as the famous Card File of 1962 and again Box with the Sound of its Own Making (1961), Self-Portrait (EEG) (1963), Mirrored Cubes (1965), the films Mirror Film and Finch College Project Film, both of 1969, the major installation Threadwaste with Mirrors (1968/1998) and Portland Mirrors (1977).
