Measuring the Immeasurable?
Long live Amazement :)
Museum Voorlinden Den Haag/Wassenaar
"Major Tom" by Edith Dekyndt (Belgium 1960) - polypropylene, helium, air - remains floating at the same level, virtually stable between floor and ceiling. Like 'Major Tom' in outer space, it could keep 'floating in the most peculiar way' forever.
In Oscar Lourens' "Grey measurements" the artist has stripped the measuring cups of their function by painting the inside of each cup with a coat of grey primer which makes the lines of their units invisible.
("The meantime" - information booklet of the museum)
These two together made me feel that there often is something beyond the measurable. And at times I just love to be amazed instead of thinking about scientific explanations for wonder-ful phenomena.
