CYNTHIA GREIG
WHITE³
20 June – 25 August 2013
Cynthia Greig’s latest work White³ closely examines the changing landscape of the contemporary art world, mapping its physical territories from the vantage point of a forensic minimalist. Merging the microscopic with the macroscopic, her photographs reimagine the physical space of the white cube as a cultural landscape to be surveyed: individual gallery “horizons” connect to a continuum of others, miniature archaeological sites display the accumulations of nameless detritus from past exhibitions that are reconfigured with each passing day, and the “topographies” of the gallery’s surfaces both exhibit and conceal the specific marks and evidence of its history.
Aligned with the conceptualist practices that informed Robert Rauschenberg’s white paintings and John Cage’s experiments in silence, the photographs meditate on the idea of nothingness from within the unlikely context of exhibition display and art itself. Greig breaks down the physical elements of the contemporary exhibition space to its observable DNA, demystifying the construct of an idealized and authoritative space and democratizing the hierarchies of branding.
