From a portfolio curated by Lauren Cornell:

For her Shatter series Tauba [Auerbach] lays down a panel and then, over that, a sheet of glass and then, over that, a sheet of cardboard. Then she shatters the glass in one blow, removes the cardboard and, lifting each shard one by one, she fills each space, with either black-and-white or color. She establishes a system, but then what is unleashed is spontaneous and chaotic. Each piece is produced by the frisson between chance and order.
