Nahum Tevet (after de Duve)

Nahum Tevet, Untitled 29, 1975

Encouraging experimentation

with the medium

house paint on cardboard

and plywood

with a bank of images

reproductions blessing

isolation and periphery

but it did so (in glass)

a non-descriptive space

co-curating fields

across the chicken wire

a small apartment where he and his wife

partition in fact sketches

that involved perspective

stand-alone drawings

a piece of paper folded

scribbled stapled shut

on a strip of masking tape

inscribed with “drawing”

or a page juxtaposing

two squares and identically

sized piece of plywood

painting white and nailed

to the wall hidden by art
