We were unpacking invisible artworks over the weekend as we prepare to begin installing the Invisible exhibition in the gallery this week. Of course, as you might imagine there’s not a lot to unpack. But one of the most interesting art crates I’ve ever come across holds Tom Friedman’s 1992 sculpture Untitled (A Curse), which he made by hiring a professional witch to curse a spherical area above an otherwise unoccupied pedestal. The crate not only includes a padded space for the custom-made pedestal, but also includes a specially rounded area for the invisible cursed sphere above it. ( It would’ve been nice to see the look on the inspecting officer’s face when that piececame in through customs. )
