The Assemblagist

The most dif­fi­cult tasks for any assem­blag­ist most likely involve brevity. Self-​editing one’s con­glom­er­a­tional activ­i­ties. It is deter­min­ing that one sin­gu­lar item which must become rep­re­sen­ta­tional of the whole, the mass which the artist is seek­ing to con­tain. For me, there is never a sin­gu­lar, always a plural. When I wish to engage in a dis­ci­pli­nary action, brevity is my mas­ter. Con­fine­ment of a set num­ber of con­straints within the minute con­fines of a pre-​determined space.

This is Dr. Eckart Finial’s Sci­en­tific Con­struct. [wow, that’s an amaz­ing Apture link, try it] The lat­est assem­blage com­pleted and required. Pho­tos of The Con­struct are now included in the not-​quite-​massive col­lec­tion appear­ing online, here, within assem​blag​ist​.org (or com). Please feel free to inter­pret accord­ing to your whim. Be kind.
