...studioJudith.. Yes, I wish I had thought of it. <br /><br />But as rurritable says, heavy on logistics. You're an artist.. that was your oil story. Terrifies the life out of me. As I kid I had to walk to school past a car repair shop which to me was just a black greasy hole, the jaws of hell. Perhaps it was because aged 5 my sister ran me over and the experience of lying under the car has made me almost phobic of heavy machinery since! I have forgiven her, by the way. Will check your your youtube reference.

A...That's the minimalist experience in essence. Apparent simplicity, but heavy on the logistics.<br />I briefly worked at a satellite automotive/ defense industry contractor plant while I was in college, and the floor was occupied by giant (some of them the size of barns)machine tools fed constantly with cutting oil. The oil vaporized and went everywhere. You began breathing it as soon as you walked in. It accumulated on your clothing, your hair, and even the packets of crackers and cookies in the breakroom vending machines tasted of it.<br />I was stationed at a heat treatment furnace that tempered transmission linkage parts to a specific hardness. When the crates of linkages reached a given temperature, a large articulated door would roll upward and flames would roll out as the crates rattled out on the conveyor. I had a few seconds to test a few of them with a set of calipers. I think that's where I left most of my eyebrows. At the time, the work environment reminded me of this, another minimalist piece:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzYu88jIDYs<br />But I think Wilson's installation has more poetic brevity.

It made a huge impression on me too, I remember walking in and not actually knowing what I was supposed to be looking at, it just looked like a walkway, it was only when I was told there was oil there that I could see. It is an AMAZING installation and I am going to try my hardest to go and see it again. Thanks for the memories!Polskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730976948904409705noreply@blogger.com
