Nothing here is part of the collection. Each one is shown with the signals it holds in common with SIMULACRA and the entries those signals lead to, so the reason it appears can be followed and disagreed with. Distance is read off the archive graph, not scored.

Judd furniture

Donald Judd · 1984–1993

Judd is already in the archive twice, as sculpture and as a building. The furniture is the third position and the most argued-over: he insisted a chair is not art and refused to let the two be read together, while making both from the same proportions. Following a creator across the boundary he himself drew is the point.

How High the Moon

Shiro Kuramata · 1986

An armchair of expanded steel mesh with no frame: the whole volume is visible and almost absent, which is negative-space made into a load-bearing object rather than a composition around one. Maison de Verre does this with glass block at the scale of a house.

Rick Owens furniture

Rick Owens · 2007–

The archive holds Owens twice in FASHION and nothing of the furniture, which is the clearest case in the collection of one person working the same proposition at two scales: alabaster, plywood and bone made into low monolithic slabs. The interior formula and the wardrobe formula are the same ratio at two scales; so is he.
