Which Colour Wall is Best for an Art Gallery? Part II: The Authority of Grey

by Walta Bryce If white was the late 20th century’s creed, then grey has emerged as the early 21st’s compromise. In galleries across Europe and North America, walls once blanched to clinical pallor are increasingly cloaked in muted shades of slate, dove, and mushroom.

Which colour wall is best for an art gallery? Part I: The Myth of White

by Walta Bryce In the hushed, climate-controlled world of the contemporary gallery, walls are rarely noticed. Their colour,more than any lighting rig, more than the strategic positioning of benches,determines the register of the room.

Chewing the Bud — Antonia Stangarino at Pimlico Wilde, Miami

Antonia Stangarino’s first outing with Pimlico Wilde is one of those happily disorienting shows that persuades you to recalibrate what counts as sculpture, what counts as flavour, and,above all,what counts as time.

Language as Material: The Conceptual Architecture of TYPO

The work of TYPO resists easy description, not because it evades meaning, but because it renders meaning unstable and contingent. A text artist in the most rigorous sense, TYPO doesn’t simply use language, they inhabit it, dissect it, expose its ligatures, the joins between rhetoric and ideology, intimacy and performance.
