• Summary:For Robin Rhode great art is inextricably connected to a preparedness to think the eternal. If Rhode has always moved between viscera and abstraction, the object and its erasure, we now encounter a critical shift, for in this new cycle of works the artist finds himself compelled to overcome the inhibitive polarities in-and-through which we construct meaning and value in our lives. In recognising the failure of the deconstructive project, in realising that in this divisive and cruel world reason can no longer save us, Rhode now seeks through colour and geometry a very different grail.0Most famously shot against a ruined wall in Westbury, Johannesburg, Rhode?s images cling nostalgically-yet-hopelessly to the particularity of a place in the very moment that longing is canceled out. Symptoms of exile, screeds for loss, they evoke a sentiment shared by the great Palestinian humanist, Edward Said, for whom ?A part of something is for the foreseeable future going to be better than all of it. Fragments over wholes. Restless nomadic activity over the settlements of held territory. Criticism over resignation ... limited independence over the status of clients. Attention, alertness, focus. To do as others do, but somehow stand apart. To tell a story in pieces, as it is.?
