At the northern end of the Nasher
Sculpture Center's garden sits a rough,
granite-clad cube and a deep portal, each set within terraced
rows of alternating flowers and bushes. Frosted glass doors
recessed within the portal veil a soft glow of artificial
light within. Once through the doors, a curved vestibule space
leads the visitor towards the cube's interior, through another
set of frosted glass doors. Smooth limestone benches line
the perimeter, their sloped backs accommodating the artworks
raison d'etre: a square, "knife-edge" cut-out
in the roof open to the sky above. This description of Tending,
(Blue) accurately conveys the movement
and physical make-up of the artwork, though it doesn't
come close to capturing the actual experience of a simple,
yet rich and highly rewarding experience.
