1999 Statement  Over the years I have preferred the title “sculptor.” I like the groundedness of it, referring back to my early love for the sculpture of Michelangelo, Rodin, and Henry Moore, for example. Early on, though, I left the model of such discrete sculptural volumes for a sculpture which became less of a thing-in-itself, more of a diffuse interface between myself, my environment, and others peopling that environment, built of thin lines that left enough room to move through and around. Still sculpture, though less dense, with an ambivalence between exterior and interior. A drawing that is habitable. The above remarks indicate only the “stage,” of course, the general shape of the medium I have chosen, not to be confused with that which is expressed therewith or therein. This content, because of its nature resists verbal explication. Whatever philosophical, historical, or literary artillery I bring to the workplace, it is of no assistance in the art of trying to stretch a line between two points. In that I am alone and voiceless.  http://fredsandbackarchive.org/atxt_1999stat.html

Daniel Buren

Copyright © Daniel Buren, Peinture/Sculpture, c. 1971, Work in situ, in VI Guggenheim International, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.
Daniel Buren was a French artist who aimed to deconstruct the traditional framework of the art institution by enlightening the viewer to its systematic processes. In line with other artists pursuing the notion of Institutional Critique, Buren wanted to highlight the architectural and sociological framework in which art was displayed so as to disprove the mythological autonomy of modern art. InPeinture/Sculpture, Buren contests the institutional limits of the Guggenheim by literally splicing the architectural interior in half. In doing so, Buren raises attention to the potentially domineering nature of the space in which art is displayed.
