DIRECTION. INVISIBLE. DETAIL. Each of these words is the complete title of one of Giovanni Anselmo’s signature artworks, and each is testament to the radical aims of his meticulous practice. Anselmo was an integral figure of Arte Povera, a curatorial concept of the late 1960s that described a dozen or so Italian artists who largely eschewed representation in order to create situations of perceptual experience. Anselmo’s work bridged sculpture and conceptualism with razor-sharp precision and dry wit. His subtle interventions orient viewers to the often overlooked forces that define human experience: gravity, light, humidity, mass, and so on. Part physics lesson, part semiotic exercise, each artwork is a meditation on the energy that, with the right focus, is palpable in every detail of our world.
