The Whole World of the Artist

  In the installation entitled “The Whole World”, artist Chris Sauter of San Antonio, Texas surgically extracted drywall components from the gallery walls. 
  Sauter's work, The Mind and Body (2005), he presented his idea world in astronomy and biology.  He used the raw materials to construct a microscope and telescope. People use microscope to discover the world deeply in biology. Also telescopes are use to research the wide space. Both two tools are function in the real world. Sauter tries to put them together on the wall One side of the wall of the microscope is collected in the center of wall. It likes when we zoom in the micro-world by using microscopes. The opposite wall is hundred different size circles which likes a nice night sky.  He said that making artworks is not practical. It could connect with the real world and make a direct relationship between artworks (objects) and the world. 
 Next time, when we rise out head to see the whole start night sky, we may think about this work and the miserable world. It always attract people discovery.
