Fragment of an Infinite Discourse is the title of a work of art by Mexican conceptual artist Mario García Torres: three glass rings interlock without touching one another. The work serves as the exhibition’s opening gambit and visualizes its program. It illustrates how subtly yet inextricably things are interwoven and prompts a variety of associations, sensations, and interpretations. As a basic geometric shape, the ring manifestly instantiates the infinite form of the circle. Adopted as the title of the exhibition, then, Fragment of an Infinite Discourse gestures toward the plethora of conceptual positions on view, while also opening up manifold possibilities for interpretations and perspectives.
