ABMB: Pedro Reyes at Galeria Luisa Strina, Sao Paolo
In Latin, punctum means "point" or "puncture." I wasn't thinking about the word until I saw a number of works that evidenced a sharp tip or gave way to perforations. Then I started looking at puncta in earnest. Lucio Fontana, with his Concetto Spaziale series, is an exponent of the perforated surface, is Antoni Tapies, who punctured (and slashed) the surfaces of his paintings. I found a lot of paintings, sculptures and works on paper that fit into my made-up category. A good organizing principle helps me focus my looking, and it certainly help me when reporting on what I've seen. You'll see a lot of details in this post, all the better to sharpen your own viewing.
