Here's one for the lady who never reads our blog. There's a 2005 documentary called Thinking on Your Feet chronicling "The Matter of Time" Richard Serra's Bilbao installation comprised of eight sculptures and it'll be screened at Film Forum in New York until September 2nd. One doesn't quite know what to make of Serra's work in the beginning, many are intimidated by the scale and material. I myself always found the prints much more accesible because they have the same physical quality but seem relatively non-threatening because of their 2-D nature. I think his installation work is more of an acquired taste and arouses more and more excitement upon each viewing. It's definitely magnetic and I would love to see the film even if NYT calls Serra "an informative if unanimated guide" and signals boredom. Here's the link to that review and the image is from artinfo.com.

mmh, yes he might be critizised for the effect of his works at times - a bit as Eliasson. But since I was very much occupied with minimal art at some point and even prefer everything that has happened after I quite like him..
