Chelsea art gallery in Manhattan, New York City, June 20, 2009.
Per NY Times:
More than 20 years ago Mr. Ray created a piece of kinetic sculpture that became famous, even though hardly anyone saw it: Ink Line (1987), a fine stream of black ink flowing from a little hole in the ceiling to another in the floor. It is here publicly exhibited for the first time, along with two other pieces from the 80s: Moving Wire, in which the ends of a length of wire snake in and out of fine holes drilled into the wall, and Spinning Spot, a circular section of the floor, 24 inches in diameter, spinning at 33 r.p.m. Matthew Marks Gallery, 523 West 24th Street, (212) 243-0200, matthewmarks.com.

@akm0521 But it's not just a line, it's an ever-flowing stream of ink. A juxtaposition between what looks like a single static object and upon, under closer inspection, is a seemingly infinite amount of liquid in constant movement. It looks amazingly simple but is actually formed by a complex contraption.
