(still)	Stanislaw Drózdz Miedzy (Between) 1977 Installation: letters for the Polish word miedzy (between) arranged systematically and painted on floor, ceiling, and walls 128 x 206 3/4 x 275 5/8 in. (325 x 525 x 700 cm) Courtesy of the artist and Foundation Gallery Foksal, Warsaw Stanislaw Drózdz has created a poem that you can inhabit, amplifying the everyday experience of language in its written form. In Polish the word miedzy means "between." On the walls, floor, and ceiling of a room of exactly prescribed proportions, the letters of the Polish word are arrayed and angled following a precise system. Through repetition and alignment, a commonplace word becomes a graphic object whose meaning is composed in space. When viewers step inside the room, the black letters arranged against the white walls impact them optically, physically, and perhaps even sonically (the letters evoking the sound of the spoken word). When you are inside the structure, you enact the implications of the piece: you are between word and meaning, language and image, art and everyday life.
