Marking Time: Process in Minimal Abstraction

Now on view at the Guggenheim in New York, *Marking Time: Process in Minimal Abstraction* looks at how restraint can still register touch, labor, and duration. The exhibition traces process-based approaches to minimal form, where repetition, measurement, and material decisions become the subject as much as the finished object. In an NYC museum context shaped by postwar abstraction, it reads as a local continuation of debates the city helped define. One clear takeaway is how “minimal” often functions less as a style than as an ethic of attention.
