Nadine Spinoza
In her recent work, Nadine Spinoza has chosen to interpret one of the cornerstones of Western art and architecture: the cube. Unlike Robert Smithson and Yayoi Kusama, who have also worked with mirrored cubes, Spinoza approaches the structure as a container of movement. For a forthcoming exhibition at the Galerie Depardieu in Nice, she will create two six by six foot cubes, the interiors of which will be covered with smaller mirrored tesserae. As a result, any movement within will be projected infinitely between the myriad reflective surfaces. In collaboration with a contemporary dance troupe, Spinoza will choreograph movements for dancers inside of the cubes. Gallery visitors will view the dances or parts thereof through a crescent-shaped fissure in each cube. Another Spinoza project involve an approximately two foot by two foot cube which is faced on all four sides with reflective mirrors. Spinoza places this cube in landscapes and amongst rocks on the seashore. By the sea, it reflects certain surrounding rocks, camouflaging itself while playfully bouncing light onto other rocks, to create an intriguing dialogue between light and structure.

But her way of using large sized cubes to visually enter their space is unique in its suggestion of 4-space.
