Vernissages NYC | Joseph Kosuth "Joseph Kosuth 'Texts (Waiting for-) for Nothing' Samuel Beckett, in play"




  • words and meaning
  • the presence of meaning and the meaning of absence
  • the meaning of art and the aesthetics of meaning,
  • images of words from words on images
  • language as art and the art of language
  • .....
Just a few of the many thoughts provoked by visiting Joseph Kosuth 'Texts (Waiting for-) for Nothing' Samuel Beckett, in play, which opened yesterday at Sean Kelly. A visually powerful, important and, of course, meaningful (monochromatic) exhibition by one of the most (and first) famous conceptual artists.

And a of course a few images...

The exhibition includes, besides the new project based on Samuel Beckett, also two other historic installation works: the artist’s first gallery exhibition Nothing, premiered in Los Angeles in 1968, and neon installation work based on James Joyce’s Ulysses, from 1998.
