Political/Minimal presents 30 works which are formally minimalist and yet also have political content. This contradiction between abstraction and concrete references to reality has come to be used more and more frequently in contemporary art. Sculptures by the artists in this exhibition make reference to classical minimalist forms – shapes in two dimensions such as the circle, the square, and the triangle, and bodies such as the sphere, the cube, and the pyramid. In contrast to self-referential minimalism they invest these forms with stories and political questions concerning what it is to be human, the body, and society.
