actualization on grey wall in 2015 at the Museum of Old and New Art, Moonah, Australia

de-finition/method:
approximately twenty canvases—rectangular, square, round—will be hung so that they cover the entire surface of a wall. they will be painted the same color as the wall.
the choice of the canvases, their format, and their arrangement on the wall is entirely up to the charge-taker. he will then remove some of the canvases, perhaps from the center of the wall, and hang works from his own collection in the spaces. these works can be from any time period and in any style.
the removed canvases function as spare parts; they will be kept in one or more stacks leaning against an adjacent wall.
these canvases may be used in a second or even a third actualization of the de-finition/method “spare parts,” and they may be used to actualize this de-finition/method in a temporary show somewhere else.

New York Gallery Reopening

Perrotin New York is open with limited capacity through August 14. We remain open Tuesday through Sunday from 10am - 6pm and for select appointments on Mondays. Reservations are preferred, and can be made by phone, email (bookingny@perrotin.com), or through the See Saw app.

The well-being of our community is our priority, and we have implemented strict precautionary measures for both our staff and visitors by: limiting capacity and carefully monitoring flow throughout the gallery, requiring all visitors and staff to wear a mask, providing touch-free hand sanitizer on each floor, retro-fitting all desks with plexiglass screens, making exhibition leaflets accessible via QR code, conducting routine cleanings of all surfaces, and implementing an RSVP system in the event that we need to assist public health officials with contact tracing.

Please do not hesitate to be in touch — info@perrotin.com
