Ugo Rondinone

No.287 NEUNUNDZWANZIGSTERJULIZWEITAUSENDUNDZ WEI

2002

Ugo Rondinone's work features the German date "29 July 2002" spelled out as a continuous word in ink on paper, presented in the artist's selected frame with a silkscreen printed plaque on Plexiglas. The piece exemplifies Rondinone's interest in language, temporality, and the materiality of mark making, transforming a specific moment in time into a visual and linguistic object. By removing conventional spacing and punctuation, the artist emphasizes the constructed nature of language while inviting viewers to decipher the temporal information encoded within the text.
