// The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names by Jaume Plensa is a limited edition relief print from 2022, measuring 76 x 56 cm. The piece features a minimalist depiction of a human head, rendered with fine mesh-like lines, connected to an extended quote. Within the silhouette, a shadowy figure pushes a cart, symbolizing the weight of knowledge and the human pursuit of truth. Plensa’s use of text as a structural and narrative element emphasizes his exploration of language, identity, and wisdom. The composition’s stark, monochrome aesthetic invites contemplation on the relationship between words and perception.

What is site specific art?
Site-Specific Art is a form of artwork created to exist in a particular location, with the artist considering the site as an integral part of the creative process. Robert Irwin was a key figure in promoting this art form in California. Site-Specific Art emerged as a reaction against modernist objects, which were often portable, commodified, and confined to museum spaces. In contrast, Site-Specific Art is inherently tied to its location, challenging the traditional notions of art as a transportable and marketable commodity.
