On Kawara Today Series — Museum Installation, Paris

5 October 2017 · Paris

Three date paintings from On Kawara's Today Series — AUG.14.1975, AUG.15.1975, AUG.16.1975 — hang on a white gallery wall above a vitrine housing their original cardboard storage boxes. The pairing is the work: the painted date and the box that carried it home each night form a single object, split across two surfaces. Kawara made time the medium; the museum makes the split visible.
