An exceptional installation that gives way for random
Laissé au hasard is an installation composed of a set of 16 squares on anodized aluminum plate of gray color. Each square, 25 x 25 cm, is crossed in the middle by a dark grey wool thread. The work is intended to be fixed to the wall. The direction of the hanging is left free so that the wool threads can be presented randomly in the vertical or horizontal direction. The assembly of the 16 squares on the wall is also left free. Each square must touch another square on one of its sides. The print run is 12 copies, including 8 copies for sale, numbered from 1 to 8. This artwork by Vera Molnar is an exceptional confrontation that opposes to the metallic rigor of cold aluminum squares, the fragility and sensuality of a simple woolen thread simply knotted on the back, bringing to the whole a spectacular vibration. The artist demonstrates here once again how art remains more than ever open to all experiments and games of the mind and the hand.
