12 _Presence and Absence
When is social value appropriated to an object? And to emptiness?
Value = criticism?
[Saturday afternoon and not a single idea in my head,
emptiness]
Derrida "He wants to create spaces in which presence and absence work together equally, against a traditional hierarchy that equates "presence" with solidity and "absence" with void."
Affective space, empty space according to oriental culture; positive, of value.
[I find white modeling paste, childhood].
Empty spaces such as primordial spaces, recesses, the "value" can be transmitted according to their degree of visibility.
Solid spaces with shapes and textures, with "value" in themselves.
[Cut the dough, feel the touch, close your eyes, stack].
Result, white form made from joints of white paste. Social value? None, but what if it were advertised like the piece that inspired the Guggenheim, would the value of the piece and the value of the void as an equal companion to the solid grow?
