Edited by Emily Wei Rales, Anne Reeve, Ali Nemerov. Introduction by Emily Wei Rales. Text by Jim Lewis.
This book marks the long-term installation of Robert Gober’s (born 1954) seminal Untitled (1992) at Glenstone Museum. Untitled is an immersive, multi-sensorial installation with diverse constituent parts: sinks with running water, darkened exterior pathways, a brightly-lit interior chamber, a hand-painted 360-degree mural and discrete sculptural elements made to appear like prison windows, boxes of rat bait and bundles of newspaper. Robert Gober includes never-before-published archival images of the work’s original presentation at the Dia Center for the Arts in New York, an oral history based on interviews with the artist and collaborators, an original essay by author Jim Lewis and extensive imagery of the piece as installed at Glenstone Museum.

"There's something about a near copy that is art indeed," novelist Jim Lewis writes in the catalogue to Glenstone's exactingly installed Robert Gober piece, "Untitled" (1992), housed in the Museum's newly unveiled Gober Pavilion, custom built by Thomas Phifer and Partners. "It is a strange activity… and an unusual thing for a grown man to do: to spend years and expend enormous energy making near copies of everyday objects out of unexpected materials. But it reveals a kind of valley or gulf, entirely metaphysical, between the things that comfort us and the things that leave us disconcerted." continue to blog
