Richard Serra's sculpture constitutes a political act through its analytical and operative strategies: analytical, when the work exposes the structures that frame our intersubjectivity, and operative, when the work acts as an example of resistance to the habitual acceptance of these structures. The significance of this oeuvre to architecture is that Serra's sculpture deliberately presents itself as something just shy of architecture, claiming its critical role to be that abandoned by--and proper to--architecture.
