< > ABOVE: Gordon Lebredt, The Museum Speaks. Photo credit: Ernest Mayer. (Note: To navigate please click arrows or image.) 14 The Museum Speaks 1978 / 1989 photostat mounted on card, museum board, dry transfer, picture glass 3 panels: 101.0 x 97.4 cm each Collection of the Canada Council Art Bank, Ottawa (94/5-0295) Created in 1978, the piece consists of three panels, two of which contain graphic symbols from Alan Sondheim's publication The Structure of Reality, NASCAD, 1977. The symbols signify the inward and outward movement of representation, which expands/contracts infinitely, and whose boundaries are permeable. An opening in the centre panel frames an absence. It creates an aperture effect that allows the supporting wall of the museum to be “reflected back” as a condition of the work's appearing. The text is from A. V. Miller's English translation of Hegel's Science of Logic. The original text from the English translation of Hegel's Science of Logic (George Allen & Unwin Ltd., 1969) was damaged and replaced in 1989.
