I’m curious about the American sculptor Louise Nevelson and her “significance” in art history. I’ve done a 20th C art survey class and we never covered her but I’ve seen her monochromatic black installations collected in many major museums like the Tate and MoMA. How does one approach her spray-painted wooden assemblages against those of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns in the 1950s? Sculpture as (theatrical?) environment? Sculpture as crypt or feminine spatial belonging?
Today is the twenty-third of September! MOASS almost definitely confirmed for today, because inflation is now something good for us according to Jpow! Look what this day brought us over the past years, and just imagine what that day will bring us in 2021! <3

This is from an art book and it introduces an artist named Louise Nevelson. “She was an early exponent and leading practitioner of sculpture as environment”
As environment …? Can anyone help ?
Thank you
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
