This sculpture is composed of four parts, each of which represents a quarter of a circle. Together, they form the ‘100%’ referred to in the title, even though when they are assembled they do not form a coherent circle. The position of the elements is important because the artist imagines them in both a realistic and symbolic dimension. Some are placed one against the other, piled on top of each other, stacked or grouped together. They may be said to evoke the relationship that exists between words, information, people and/or social groups. Gabriel Kuri’s metal sculptures create a link between the formal lan- guage of modernist sculpture, and the conventions of representing economic and statistical data in curves, pie charts and other diagrams.
