Blotter Figures: Coming Towards . 1999
Muñoz believed that a sculpture is activated by its relationship to the viewer and the surrounding architecture. Understanding that sculpture only makes sense in human terms, his figures function as mini narratives that playfully, almost mischievously, speak to the lives we lead, our relationship to the world around us, and the enigma of the smallest human gesture. This holds true even when presented with a single figure, as seen in many of the works on view in the exhibition. Rooted in notions of spectatorship espoused by minimalist artists such as Donald Judd, to look at a Muñoz sculpture is to enter a theatrical world in which all is not what it seems.
