For this edition, Joseph Kosuth chose a quote by French philosopher, mystic and political activist Simone Weil, which states that contradiction is not a flaw in our understanding of reality, but a sign we are engaging with something truly real and necessary. The full, embossed quote reads: 
THE CONTRADICTIONS THE MIND COMES UP AGAINST – THESE ARE THE ONLY REALITIES: THEY ARE THE CRITERION OF THE REAL
THERE IS NO CONTRADICTION IN WHAT IS IMAGINARY. CONTRADICTION IS THE TEST OF NECESSITY. SIMONE WEIL

From Wall Works
Warm white neon on a black painted wall; configuration of the neon signs variable. Signs approximately 12 x 12 x 4 cm (5 x 5 x 1½ in); installation size according to the wall. Limited to 12 installations, with a signed and numbered certificate.

The wall work edition Sigla, Finnegans Wake is one of several Joyce-based Kosuth works – others include an immense installation at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin and permanent installations in Tokyo and Lyon. For Sigla, Kosuth created white neon "text" after the sigla (signs) Joyce used in his seminal 1923 works Finnegans Wake to designate characters and their identities. These luminous signals are to be configured freely on a black wall, suggesting a starry night sky.

From Wall Works
Text in black, white or gray paint, 44 x 275 cm (17¼ x 108¼ in), on a white, gray or black painted wall, to be executed using a stencil. Limited to 12 installations, with a signed and numbered certificate.

Joseph Kosuth, known for his conceptual engagement with language and meaning, takes up the formal rigor of philosophical and literary discourse in this edition. By precisely quoting a sentence by a 17th-century French writer and moralist, he merges text and art into a reflection on semantics, authorship, and the transmission of knowledge. The minimalist presentation reinforces the intellectual rigor and points to the central question in his oeuvre: the relationship between sign, reference, and interpretation.
