Suncycle

Descripción

550 x 50mm. Brass, hand carved and etched by the artist at his studio in Kingscote, Gloucestershire. Ken Cox made two proposals for the 1967 Brighton Concrete Poetry Festival, both of which were floating text sculptures. The Three Graces (Love Beauty Passion) was chosen ahead of the larger Suncycle proposal. Cox modified and purified the complex repeating text of the floating Suncycle: it became a smaller double-sided hand carved sculpture, hung from a translucent fishing line to be suspended from a ceiling. 'I shall have it turning very slowly and there will be a light on it,' said Cox in an interview. Gently spinning by touch or breeze in the light, the text of the sculpture glows around the space it is in. A group of Suncycles featured in Ken Cox s solo exhibition at the Lisson Gallery in 1968. Lisson promoted the Suncycle sculpture as a multiple, but it is thought that less than 25 copies were made. Condition: near fine. N° de ref. del artículo 003657
