Charles Ray (US, 1953)

Plank Piece I and II 1973. Two gelatin silver prints, printed 1992

The slanted board recalls artist John McCracken’s “planks” of the 1960s. By including his body as an element within the work, Ray approaches sculpture not as a static object but as an activity. The work is humorous and disarming, yet also decidedly devoted to sculptural principles. Ray studies the forces of weight, gravity, and the intrinsic ability of the plank to support his mass without breaking.
