Nicolas Boulard

Specific Cheeses : Fanzine # 1 - 12

description

"Specific Cheeses started in 2010 when Nicolas Boulard realized the shape of the French goat cheese made in 'Valencay' looked exactly like a truncated pyramid drawn by Sol LeWitt. First Boulard gave a series of lectures on the existing similarities between traditional cheese forms and the three basic geometric shapes of minimalism (circle, square, triangle). Folloowing this brilliant theoreetical tour de force reconciling organiz cheese with the history of sculpture, Boulard made 12 polyethylene molds out of LeWitt's '12 Forms Derived from a. Cube' - a portfolio of 12 plates published in 1982. The title Specific Cheeses refers to Donald Judd's seminal essay on minimalism 'Specific Objects' (1964)." -- Publishers statement.
