Typescript (Ex. 2A)Interviewer: You are 65 now and you have been sculpting for a long time. Yet i don\'t see any obvious progression in your work. Instead, you seem to keep returning to a number of established ways of working.Andre: You are absolutely right. This is really because of key moments and influences in my career... 1958, for example, was a turning point for me. It was a period of so many realizations. The visions I had then were radical and I keep on returning to them.Interviewer: You also mentioned influences...Andre: Yeah! Childhood in Massachusetts, four years working on the railroad, then later Brancusi\'s work and minimalism.Interviewer: When I look at photographs of your early work, I am very struck by the way the small wooden pieces set up an impression of positive and negative: the “negative\" is the space around the sculpture and the sculpture acts on it and changes it...Andre: This idea of space is really important to me. My pieces arc different in every place I put them. That’s why l won’t have anything on the walls when my work is on the floor. It would distract you from seeing what’s there.Interviewer: It seems odd for an artist to work so much with mathematical and geometrical fonns. Isn\'t there a contradiction there?Andre: Not really. Mathematics and geometry have a simple beauty. Think of Stonehenge. It’s a structure where number becomes form, even landscape. I’m also including poetry in the show, and the work I am using is based on systems of repetition and structuring.Interviewer: And why do you never fix the parts of your pieces together? Andre: because that way they can be easily moved and reordered. I aminterested in their potential, and the less I do to the materials, the greater this potential is. And I won’t have people touching my work. The oils in a human hand are the most destructive agents I know of.
