Finally had a chance to take pictures of the reinstallation of Ponder at Evanston Art Center (second picture here). Compare to the first installation (first picture). The combination of having to flip the image and pieces and the rearrangements to adjust for pieces not adhering as well to the wall surface made for big differences; yet the essense does remain the same, doesn't it? I am biased, though, so perhaps likely to see the essense carrying through.
Even so, I think that the spatial effect in the reinstallation unfortunately suffers somewhat. Perhaps due to the more limited area for placing the elements on one wall. Or due to the gap? The Center's wall has a significant gap -- a flaw far more apparent in the documentation than when viewing the piece on site; that gap draws the eye.
