\nFor COMMA, Jedediah Caesar was commissioned to create two new works. On entering the rear gallery visitors were presented with one of his characteristic cut-resin multi-panelled wall sculptures. Since 2003, Caesar has been engaged in making sculptural installations made from a unique amalgamation of clear or coloured resin, found objects and detritus. The resulting blocks are then cut to reveal a sequence of often legible petrified matter.<\/p>\n

For his COMMA commission Caesar moved away from his previous stacked arrangement of rectangular blocks to experiment with a sculpture created from a cast within a large wicker basket. Resembling slices of geodes, he placed these rounded cut-resin blocks in diminishing rows directly against the wall in the rear gallery. Scanning across the wall, the viewer could follow the embedded objects from one cross-sectioned tile to the next as if reading the frames in a film. Similar to the animated shifts between film stills, the pattern of these panels appeared to repeat, but each one deviated subtly from the next.<\/p>\n

In response to the particular architecture of the rear gallery at Bloomberg SPACE Caesar also created a series of casts installed along, and restricting access to, the balcony space. At an external location in London, Caesar excavated and cast a series of shallow pits to echo the exact dimensions of the balcony gallery. The resulting inverted particle-encrusted relief sculptures could be viewed from several vantage points both in the gallery and from the glass walled-offices above, creating a multiplicity of readings of the work as a horizon, a glyph and an architectural intervention. Caesar\u2019s work recalls Minimalism\u2019s interest in the methods of industry, yet demonstrates a particular relationship to his surroundings, incorporating materials from the outside world into his sculptures, which in turn become an exploded object and a recording of a particular space.<\/p>\n
