Rather than create new spaces and pieces, conceptual mixed-media artist Michael Asher prefers to deconstruct and punctuate extant spaces with found materials, creating a site-specific sculpture that recycles all 44 temporary walls constructed at SMMoA since its arrival at Bergamot Station. Like some kind of crazy Richard Artschwager/Sol Lewitt Lego mashup, this commissioned work speaks volumes on the value of art and the power of context.
