[Small Labeled Circles], 1984

 Item — Folder 4: [Barcode: 31858072459427]
Identifier: CC-36480-38277
Scope and Contents

According to Boshoff, this is "A hand-drawn work of small circles, based upon those small bits of paper that fall out of a paper punch. The work was once enlarged and printed in an edition of ten silk-screen prints." Boshoff is referring to "chads" an arcane word that became famous in American politics during the vote recount in Floida for the 2000 American presidential campaign of Bush and Gore. On a number of circles, Boshoff handprinted two or three clusters of letters, e.g., EN, RUS, LOF, VIS, SO, AR, and so forth. The significance of these letters is not readily apparent. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

[The Sackner Archive lent an original manuscript and limited edition works to this exhibition]. From the catalogue, the following citation was printed. "This piece is an homage to the mantras I read within de Campos's aesthetics"”where words transmute into each other as they roll over their own repetition"”creating breath within breath, an echo of language as it shape shifts past surface-meaning into base-origin, the primal sound underneath. I also wanted to walk in the minimalism of his graphic sensibility while inserting a charge of my own. His piece "CODIGO" spoke to me in its graphic vertigo. I read "GOD" in the letterforms, a circular oneness, a vortex that traps while liberating, perhaps my own illusions revealed. I went off on that tangent, designing the G-O-D letter forms into a...
