Robert Morris, 'Anti Form' (1968)

"Considerations of ordering are necessarily causal and imprecise and unemphasized. Random piling, loose stacking, hanging, give passing form to the material. Chance is accepted and indeterminacy is implied since replacing will result in another configuration. Disengagement with preconceived enduring forms and orders for things is a positive assertion. It is part of the work's refusal to
continue aestheticizing form by dealing with it as a prescribed end." -Robert Morris, 'Anti Form' (1968)
