Vitamin "I"
iheartmyart: Iván Capotem, History. 2001, Glass, metal, wood, electric motor, pen, felt 104 x 100 x 17 cm Edition 2/3 The piece is a mechanical sculpture, with a pen attached to one circling arm and an eraser attached to the other. As one arm marks the glass, the other arm all too quickly erases – suggesting lessons in history that have not been learnt. I won’t comment on the message behind it, but I love self-defeating machines.
