- Medium: Firebricks

Carl Andre’s Equivalent VIII consists of eight rectilinear mounds, each made of 120 bricks arranged in specific combinations. The bricks are stacked in two layers, each mound consisting of 60 bricks in various orientations, creating four distinct shapes. Though the eight forms differ visually, they occupy the same cubic space, making them equivalent. The work reflects Andre’s minimalist approach, emphasizing the materials’ inherent geometry and the process of construction.
