Describing Sandback's work is ontologically exacting. Five pieces are comprised of just 42 lines. These are the "sculptures." It's not a contradiction of terms: exhibition of minimalism. One work is a single diagonal wire on a wall, skirting its number of dimensions. Two works make use of his hallmark implied volume. "Untitled (Gray Corner), two vertical strands on the wall eight inches from a corner, two bent horizontal rods connecting them, leave the viewer standing in excised space. The conflation of 2D and 3D and the use of actual volume to imply volume requires a spatial reckoning that approaches philosophy.
