Altered to Suit (Sol LeWitt Incomplete Open Cube 5/9, 1974)
2004
A precise yet conceptually charged sculpture in coated aluminium, this work by Jonathan Monk engages in a dialogue with Sol LeWitt's iconic Incomplete Open Cube series, specifically reinterpreting the 5/9 variant from 1974. Monk's intervention subtly alters LeWitt's rigorous minimalist framework, questioning notions of authorship, appropriation, and artistic legacy. The clean geometric structure, rendered in sleek coated aluminium, balances fidelity to its source material with a quiet but deliberate act of transformation.
