It gives a new meaning to its landscape space and makes the space more interesting. So this art piece was worth investigating.<\/p>\n<p>This artwork is a collection of 4 steel plates that span over a kilometer, and can be explored from either end. The topography of the land allows the center two plates to be placed higher than the end plates. Despite the great distance between the plates, all the four plates can be seen from either end.<\/p>\n<p>This artwork gives a whole new identity to its location as it is far away for the main Doha city in Qatar. Richard Serra has created a \u201c<em>place within a place\u201d. It gives a demarcation to the landscape between east and west. If this piece wasn\u2019t there this land would be undifferentiated as most of the landscape is out there.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-136 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/da-e1407083972367.jpg\" alt=\"da\" width=\"794\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/da-e1407083972367.jpg 794w, http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/da-e1407083972367-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/da-e1407083972367-398x300.jpg 398w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/scp-20140408-6087.jpg\" alt=\"scp-20140408-6087\" width=\"507\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/scp-20140408-6087.jpg 507w, http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/scp-20140408-6087-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/scp-20140408-6087-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-128\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/cropped-IMG_8769.jpg\" alt=\"cropped-IMG_8769.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/cropped-IMG_8769.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/cropped-IMG_8769-300x86.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blogs.qu.edu.qa\/publicarturepresearch\/files\/2014\/08\/cropped-IMG_8769-500x143.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designed by: Richard Serra This sculpture was selected because of its location and typology.
