Empty Center, based on a poem by Rosmarie Waldrop On Lawn of Excluded Middle

EMPTY CENTER is a work that was created on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Haus für Poesie in Berlin.

EMPTY CENTER constructs a space, an inner and outer boundary. The work can be viewed from outside and can also be entered through an opening that leads into an inner space.

The impulse for the work stems from a poem by Rosmarie Waldrop entitled LAWN OF EXCLUDED MIDDLE (quote):

1. The law of excluded middle is a venerable old law of logic. But much must be said against its claim that everything must be either true or false.

2. The idea that women cannot think logically is not a so old venerable stereotype. As an example of thinking, I don’t think we need to discuss it.

3. Lawn of Excluded Middle plays with the idea of women as the excluded middle. Women, and more particularly, the womb, the empty center of the woman’s body, the locus of fertility
