Defining Moment:

Early 1980s — silence as gesture; order clarified

Lucia Nogueira

(

1950–1998

)

Nogueira built a world from fragments and found objects.

Each work feels paused mid-sentence, a delicate conversation with absence.

‍

In her world, silence shapes form.

Structural Focus

Boundary as Event

Edges, margins, thresholds, or limits carry meaning. Structure concentrates where form nearly disappears.

In Lucia Nogueira’s work, this approach appears where objects occupy sculptural thresholds.

Position

Boundary as Event

Edges, margins, thresholds, or limits carry meaning. Structure concentrates where form nearly disappears.

In Lucia Nogueira’s work, this approach appears where objects occupy sculptural thresholds.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Post-Minimalism

Minimal systems loosen through process, material, and contingency.

Language, instruction, and proposition function as the work itself.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Monument as tenderness
