Contemporary artists just can’t seem to leave Minimalism alone. In “BodySpace,” curator Helen Molesworth brings together nine who marry ’60s phenomenology to the identity-based, at times domestic content of the ’90s. Most of the participants here—Robert Gober, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Ernesto Neto—are household names, but a couple of others, like Sowon Kwon, have received less exposure. Their “spaces” are often loaded (e.g., Gonzalez-Torres’s kitschy beaded curtain), their “bodies” specific (Gober’s orifice-like drains). Stuffing the Minimalist shell with the metaphor and narrative it once stridently refused is a clever if by now familiar twist, and one that feels as oedipal as it is ideological.
