Land’s End

Curator Maria do Carmo M. P. de Pontes explains the process of installing these elements: “When facing the installation, it is difficult to assume which of its many aspects will first catch the spectator’s attention. Perhaps it will be the columns, (HT Eyes Low, 2022) that seem to hold the parts together. These are made of dark wood slabs –a material that recurs in Kritzman’s vocabulary –aligned vertically, forming a textured yet somehow flat surface. There is a correlation of scale between the artist’s height and these columns, and a nod to monuments and ancient buildings is inevitable; yet to draw a strict parallel between object and architecture would prove delicate: it is too big to be a model, too small for an actual construction. Rather than round or square, the columns are shaped like Tetris pieces, with indentations that perfectly accommodate the watercolours that emerge from its sides.”
