The work initially refers to the minimalist sculpture of the twentieth century. Klara SA Mod takes the modernist starting points as inspiration and develops a new, modern language on the basis of form, where raw material stands at the center. Formally derived from the minimalist modernist tradition, the syporex block installation runs continuously through all eight rooms, eventually joined by elements of narrative and sound that result in associative slides through the minimalist experience into something much more savage and humorous. Elevated modernism meets popular culture. It's a game with expectations. How do we understand the work with regard to the author? What if a group is hiding behind a personal name? What if Carl Andre is a techno musician from Canada? And isn't the artist Klara sa album the person in Don DeLillo's novel?

Delo se v izhodišču nanaša na minimalistično skulpturo dvajsetega stoletja. Klara Sax modernistične izhodišne točke jemlje kot inspiracijo in na temeljih forme, kjer stoji v središču surovi material, razvije nov, sodobni jezik. Instalacija iz siporeks blokov, ki formalno izhaja iz minimalistične modernistične tradicije, neprekinjeno poteka skozi vseh osem sob, sčasoma pa se ji pridružijo elementi naracije in zvoka, ki povzročijo asociativna drsenja skozi minimalistično izkušnjo v nekaj mnogo bolj divjeraščenega in humorističnega. Povzdignjen modernizem sreča popularno kulturo. Gre za igro s pričakovanji. Kako razumemo delo z obzirom na avtorja? Kaj, če se za osebnim imenom skriva skupina? Kaj, če je Carl Andre techno glasbenik iz Canade? In ali ni umetnica Klara Sax oseba v romanu Don Delilla?
