Bertoldi:
Redbank 31 -
Nassau Variation
Originally constructed and exhibited at Redbank, California,
where it was composed of thirty-one moveable elements. "Nassau
Variation" is made up of sixteen identical rectangular modules,
each placed in a different position to create a feeling of movement.
Eight modules face and curve out from one another, pivoting progressively,
so that the last stands at a 90-degree angle to the first. Stand
in the center so that the space tunnels and closes; move around
and allow each rectangle to frame a different view of the landscape,
the museum building, and the surrounding sculpture. One of the
Museum's "trademark" works and, again, a subtle example
of Bertoldi's preoccupation with straight and curved forms.
