Rythme du millimètre 1976

With Rythme du millimètre, Nemours has given us a square populated with many small black squares on a white ground. I wonder what it’s like to make something like this! Maybe she’s thinking about the grid. Agnes Martin was interested in the grid. Rosalind Krauss wrote about the grid in the 20th century. It’s not about nature; it’s about culture. I bet Nemours was interested in seriality. Think of the composer Philip Glass! Or maybe she was trying to find a new way to think about Mondrian. After all, he also used grids in his paintings! But here, instead of lines making shapes, we have individual solid squares. Each one carefully placed, and yet so, so many of them!
