My Favorite Things: Dan Webb on Robert Morris' "Box with the Sound of Its Own Making”

"I would say it’s the signature piece of its era. The un-monumentality of it, the organic-ness of it, the simplicity of it is all very much designed to almost make you miss it. It doesn’t announce itself as monumental sculpture like a lot of other minimalist sculpture of the time." –Dan Webb Hear from artist Dan Webb on Robert Morris' "Box with the Sound of Its Own Making," his favorite work currently on view at SAM in "Big Picture: Art after 1945." Webb creates wooden sculptures whose textures and contours upset our expectations of the solidity and porousness of his medium. Self-taught as a carver, Webb's works, like Morris' sculpture, often exists somewhere between craftsmanship and conceptual art and contains a grain of the miraculous when considered as birthed from within beams of raw wood. ____________ Artwork: "Box with the Sound of Its Own Making", 1961, Robert Morris, American, born 1931, Wood, internal speaker, Wooden Cube: 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 in.
