Grönlund-Nisunen Unlike Discontinuity, 2013
Aluminium, stainless steel, magnets
140 x 135 x 4 cm
In Unlike discontinuity, the rigid grid of the steel beams is held together by magnetic forces. The seeming stability and coherence of the steel and aluminium structure is undermined by the gap filled by invisible magnetic field that holds together the construction. Unlike discontinuity reminds us about the physical forces that predetermine the environment around us. The tension of the magnetic field animates otherwise minimal form of the sculpture.
