Daniel Buren — installation dimensions variable
Daniel Buren

installation dimensions variable

Daniel Buren's signature 8.7 cm vertical stripes, rendered in white self-adhesive vinyl, are applied against a field of light blue acrylic paint, creating a rhythmic interplay between the applied material and the painted surface beneath. The installation's variable dimensions allow the work to adapt to and engage with the specific architectural conditions of its environment, a hallmark of Buren's site-responsive practice. This piece reflects the artist's longstanding investigation into the relationship between visual form, surface, and the spaces that contain and define them.
