- Rondinone's pursuit of the spiritual through nature reaches new heights in his nuns + monks series. In the Nam June Paik Hall, a lone figure of the four meter-tall yellow red monk commands the presence of a Gothic saint under the dramatic ioht from the skylight above.
- Towering at four meters, the anthropomorphic monument is cast in bronze, but fabricated based on small-scale linestone models. Stones have been a presence and recuring material and symbolin Rondinone's art.
- As the study and enjoyment of naturally formed stones as objects of beauty and contem- plation, the work generates personal, meditative states oflooking which the boundaries between the outside world and intemally visualized spaces break down.
- nuns + monks allows such lavers of signification to come in and out of focus, prompling the viewer to revelin the pure sen- sory experience of color, form, and mass while simultaneously engender an altogether contemporary version of the sublime.
