Red X

In 1967, curator Eleanor Green organized an exhibition, Scale as Content, at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

The Gallery helped three artists to execute large-scale sculptures, each debuting at the show; Smoke by Tony Smith, Broken Obelisk by Barnett Newman, and the X by Ronald Bladen.

Red X is to place architecture in a promiscuous relationship to art and to take the retrospection of contemplating Scale as Content.

It aims to be a placeholder for a contemporary architectural expression  - too reduced in profile to be form, too disturbing to be shape (Robert E. Somol, 12 Reasons to Get Back Into Shape).
