dAvId RICkARd Il lavoro di David Rickard comprende un’ampia gamma di media per esplorare le relazioni tra oggetti, spazi, e le persone che li abitano. I suoi lavori si sv<strong>il</strong>uppano da processi di sperimentazione con le proprieta` materiali degli oggetti e <strong>il</strong> loro spazi circostanti. In un modo non dissim<strong>il</strong>e da Sol LeWitte quando creo` <strong>il</strong> suo Paragraphs on Conceptual Art (1967), gli esperimenti di Rickard tendono ad avviarsi con una serie ben definita di regole iniziali, entro cui si sv<strong>il</strong>uppa una determinata azione. All’interno di questa cornice, i lavori osc<strong>il</strong>lano tra la pianificazione meticolosa e la pura casualita` durante <strong>il</strong> corso della loro creazione.
