罗伯特·莫里斯(Robert Morris)高清作品《盒子里有自己制造的声音》

作品名：盒子里有自己制造的声音

艺术家：罗伯特·莫里斯

年代：1961

风格：概念艺术,极简主义

类型：装置

正如其标题所示，Morris的“有自己声音的盒子”由一个未装饰的木立方体组成，伴随着在其构造过程中产生的声音的记录。持续了三个半小时，作品的音频部分否认了围绕艺术对象创作的浪漫神秘气氛，将其呈现为一种耗时甚至可能乏味的努力。在这样做的同时，作品也结合了艺术创作的过程，把焦点从一个转移到另一个。在纽约莫里斯邀请的第一个人被邀请看这部作品是John Cage，其沉默的1952组成4’33’是著名的组成的背景中听到的声音，而它正在执行。据报道，凯奇被《盒子的自制之声》迷住了，莫里斯后来回忆道：“凯奇来的时候，我把它打开了……他不听我的话。他坐了下来听了三个小时，这让我印象深刻。他只是坐在那里。

Title:Box with the Sound of Its Own Making

artist:Robert Morris

Date:1961

Style:Conceptual Art,Minimalism

Genre:installation

As its title indicates, Morriss Box with the Sound of Its Own Making consists of an unadorned wooden cube, accompanied by a recording of the sounds produced during its construction. Lasting for three-and-a-half hours, the audio component of the piece denies the air of romantic mystery surrounding the creation of the art object, presenting it as a time-consuming and perhaps even tedious endeavor. In so doing, the piece also combines the resulting artwork with the process of artmaking, transferring the focus from one to the other. Fittingly, the first person in New York Morris invited to see the piece was John Cage-whose silent 1952 composition 433 is famously composed of the sounds heard in the background while it is being performed. Cage was reportedly transfixed by Box with the Sound of Its Own Making, as Morris later recalled: When Cage came, I turned it on... and he wouldnt listen to me. He sat and listened to it for three hours and that was really impressive to me. He just sat there.
