The Language of Less (Then and Now) is inspired by the MCA’s rich holdings
of Minimalist and post-Minimalist work from the 1960s and 1970s. The
exhibition is divided into two distinct parts, one devoted to a fresh
reinstallation of this historical material (featuring artists such as Carl
Andre, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and Richard Serra); and a second showcasing
five contemporary artists (Leonor Antunes, Carol Bove, Jason Dodge, Gedi
Sibony, and Oscar Tuazon) who are working within the stylistic language of
their forebears, albeit with entirely new content and concerns. Foregrounding
the MCA’s belief that history is always under constant reappraisal,
especially by working artists, the exhibition reintroduces now-classic
material to the public alongside work by a younger generation who have
emerged as exciting leaders in the field and who are captivating
international attention.
