Wall Hanging
(Pièce de feutre suspendu au mur)
1969 - 1970
ln 1967, Morris began a series of sculptures made entirely of sheets of felt which, when fixed to the wall, unfurl in space.
While the artist intervened on the variation of colours, folds and their layout, the final form was decided by the weight of the material. At the same period, he published a manifesto-like text entitled "Anti Form" in the Artforum review in 1968. ln it he listed the American artists who, since the post-war period, favoured a process that gave free expression to the material, chance
and gravity. The artist was thus no longer the sovereign master of the elements and the work was no longer a solid and eternal immobile object.
