Core-fave Nendo will be showing 29 new works at the Saatchi Gallery in an exhibition entitled Thin Black Lines, from September 20th through October 31st, accompanied by Blurry White Surfaces, a survey of recent work, at the Phillips de Pury & Company offices.
The new works, bent from solid tubular steel, explore a theme of "outlines," and sit somewhere between Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt and Ron Gilad's Spaces, Etc.. In Nendo's project, he references Japanese calligraphy as abstractions of natural shapes.
Extensive imagery after the jump.

And second of all I think this is much more subtle than space etc.
One of the great distinctions is the japanese idea of what isn't there, where hes work is physically quite filled up.
I did mention the Ron Gilad Spaces Etc. in the post -- but "copy" is quite an accusation. It could be true, but then is Ron Gilad "copying" Sol Le Witt? Can some things can be chalked up to Zeitgeist?
