| Description |
Viscous Gestalt is a performance/installation by Melbourne based artist David Cross. Working with the visual codes of minimalism, Cross constructs environments that test the established logic of this often hermetic movement. In particular, he examines the overtly visual rhetoric outlined by leading practitioner Robert Morris who emphasised the importance of gestalt in his work. |
