>[6WC] 6 White Cubes

 

The suspect “white cube nothing” was researched under the impression of the white cube’s role during a period in the 20th Century: a supposedly neutral, meaningless art space. In situations that changed on a monthly basis the myth of a neutral space was conjured up and analyzed. A variety of forms and situations revealed in a productive way the actual eloquence and the preconception of the white space.
