About Fred Sandback


"(...) In wanting to create sculpture that did not have an inside, he found through this seemingly "casual act" the means to "assert a certain place or volume in its full materiality without occupying and obscuring it". (...) In his exploration of physical relationships via the incorporeal rather than through concrete matter—via the interplay of vacancy and volume— he recognizes that the illusory and the factual are inextricably intertwined. "Fact and illusion are equivalents," he asserts; "Trying to weed one out in favor of the other is dealing with an incomplete situation." (Sandback, quoted in 74 Front Street, p. 4.)."
