Jordan Wolfson has been announced as the recipient of the Frieze Foundation’s coveted Cartier Award for 2009. According to the release “He will present Untitling
Everything, a nomadic seminar on the subject of String Theory, which will take the form of a series of personal walking tours of Frieze Art Fair.”
I am going to be 100% honest. I dont’ know what that means. I get it, like a walking lecture about String Theory, through the art fair, but…why? I loved last year’s winner, and I guess I was hoping for something a little more concrete?
The only thing I can think of would be creating the feeling of possibility in people. I remember when I was first introduced to the String Theory in one of my physics classes and the rest of the day I floated on a cloud. Everything looked different, felt different, and everything interacted and was the same. I can say that was one of the greatest days of my life (now, it’s pretty much debunked but whatever, that was a great day). I know, I know, I just answered my own question.
