Elsa Gramcko (1925–1994) was a Venezuelan artist, known as an abstract sculptor and painter. Her earlier works, which date from 1954, were geometric paintings, while her later works were more tachist in nature. While her earlier works consisted of mostly paintings, she expanded into sculpture and assemblage in the 1960s and 1970s. via W #PalianSHOW

Art Historical Images week 7 - by Robert Smithson

Asphalt rundown, Rome, Italy, 1969

Entropy made visible, seves as an anticipation for a disaster

Earth, geology, everything is gradually breaking down

Robert Smithson, Glue Poor, Vancouver, 1970

Contradicts the view of a mechanistic world - a condition that is irreversible 

Pre-occupied with the process

Represents the act of ‘putting all the pieces back together again’ in an attempt to over come entropy

Entropy - the thermodynamic quantity of representing the inability of a system’s thermal energy for conservation into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.  The lack of order or predictability, gradual decline or disorder.

Glue Pour (destroyed) - Robert Smithson 1970

‘A bucket of glue was poured down a slope of soil and gravel. As the glue travelled down the slope, seeping into its contours, loose soil was dragged with it. Smithson’s interest in the transformative forces of the natural environment was continued with this work.’ Land and Environmental Art, PHAIDON

‘‘Glue Pour’‘ (1969)_____________photo Robert Smithson.

Glue Pour was created for the exhibition 995,000, curated by Lucy Lippard for Vancouver Art Gallery. In December 1969 Smithson positioned a large drum of glue, industrially produced by National Starch and Chemical Company, at the crest of a hill and tipped the container over. This image was taken immediately after the pour began. The temporary sculpture exists as a 126 format transparency.
