In "BodySpace," curator Helen Molesworth brings together nine who marry '60 phenomenology to the identity-based, at times domestic satisfy of the '90s. Most of the participants here--Robert Gober, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Ernesto Neto--are household names, however a couple of others, like Sowon Kwon have received les exposing Their "spaces" are often loaded (eg Gonzalez-Torres's kitschy beaded curtain), their "bodies" specific (Gober's orifice-like drains). Stuffing the Minimalist shell with the metaphor and narrative it formerly stridently refused is a expert if by now familiar twist, and single that feels as oedipal as it is ideological.
