Ugo Rondinone — Vierzehnteroktoberzweitausendundnull
Ugo Rondinone

Vierzehnteroktoberzweitausendundnull

2000

"Vierzehnteroktoberzweitausendundnull" (Fourteen October Two Thousand and Null) by Ugo Rondinone is an acrylic painting on canvas that exemplifies the Swiss artist's conceptual approach to marking time and documenting quotidian moments. The work's title, which translates the date October 14, 2000 into German words written as a single continuous string, reflects Rondinone's interest in linguistic play and the arbitrary systems by which we organize temporal experience. The accompanying Plexiglas plaque serves as both documentation and sculptural element, reinforcing the work's engagement with archival practices and the materiality of representation.
