Robert Morris, Wall Hanging 1970, industrial felt

trope: informe

"the inverse of form, which is to say, formless"

Sculptor Robert Morris' concept anti-form is related:

"the gaps become the index of the horizontal vector understood as a force constantly active within the vertical field". [Rosalind Krauss, 'Formless: A User's Guide' ...on Robert Morris' felt hangings - left.]

Terrestrial form resists the dispersive function of gravity - horizontality - or the tendency toward global [or planetary as opposed to planar] surface distribution.

space as contingent matter, not void]

Toward an 'ideological critique' of form & immanence:
in space, form is not earthbound - not geotropic.
