About Project
When we were asked to film the piece « Revolution Counter-Revolution » by Charles Ray, we of course couldn’t say no. It rotates in two directions at the same time.

Christie’s put it best: « Forging beyond medium-specificity, Ray has worked tirelessly since the 1970s to reinvent and reassess the very roots of the sculptural tradition. Looking for a way to ascend beyond pictorial and abstract modes of thought, works like Revolution Counter-Revolution go beyond the subject and illustrate the artist’s meditative scrutiny of the relationship between the sculpture’s individual parts and the realized whole. » (Christies)

« Intimately detailed and carefully rendered, each piece of the work exudes a temporal debt.…Laboriously crafted over the course of two decades, Revolution Counter-Revolution is a testament to Ray’s work ethic and his careful, purposeful pace. Often working on works for years at a time, the artist immerses himself in the process of creation and frequently constructs multiple versions in varying materials until he is satisfied with the result. » (Christies)
