“The contemporary complement to Minimalist art-focused exhibition The Language of Less (Then and Now), the titular Now galleries feature work from five artists influenced by the movement: Leonor Antunes, Carol Bove, Jason Dodge, Gedi Sibony, and Oscar Tuazon. Walking up to the galleries, you experience "Bottom Dollar," Tuazon's site-specific installation for the MCA in their atrium, an upside-down wooden framework for a roof that invokes minimalism in look but comments on the recent (and ongoing) housing market decline and sub-prime mortgage crisis. Gedi Sibony's canvas-draped installation "The Teller" reveals structural complexity and hides it as you pass from gallery to hall. Economic in execution, these artists both invoke minimalism and elide it.”
