Description

Terry Haass exhibited this work in the exhibition "Terry Haass Licht und Raum / Hommage a Albert Einstein" (Terry Haass Light and Space / Homage to Albert Einstein) at the Museum Bochum Kunstsammlung in Bochum, Germany, December 10, 1977 to January 22, 1978. It is listed in the catalogue as number 17, "Black Body I".Her exhibition "Homage to Albert Einstein" traveled for four years in France and across Europe

In the forward of the catalog Einstein is quoted about his light/space theory: "I wanted to show that space-time is not necessarily something that can be given a life of its own independent of actual objects of physical reality. Real objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this sense, the notion of "empty space" loses its meaning.

Haass comments about her responses in these acrylic works: "These sculptures were inspired by and dedicated to Albert Einstein's non-Euclidean geometry. The underlying idea is based on mutually influencing systems within flat, curved or vaulted shapes that symbolize finite-infinite space. The main concern of this work is to stimulate an increased mediation of abstract thinking.
