展覧会について

Founded in 1978, by Buzz Spector, Reagan Upshaw, and Roberta Upshaw, WhiteWalls began as a project for artists working with language. The publication featured contributions from a roster of prominent figures with text-based practices, and to the present day, it continues to promote a wide array of "writings by artists." Shifting its platform to mirror the times, WhiteWalls has converted from serial publication to become a publisher of singular artists' books and projects focused on work by individual artists or collectives.

This exhibition will feature the visionary serial publication’s complete run. En masse, these hundreds of contributions form an alternate history of contemporary art from 1978 to the present, embodying the founding concerns of the publication: the intersections of art and language, and the permeability of boundaries instated between textual art and critical writing.

Dike Blair, Gregg Bordowitz, Mary Ellen Carroll, Cameron Crawford, Jeanne Dunning, Anthony Elms, Wendy Jacob, Silvia Kolbowski and Simon Leung, Helen Mirra, A. Laurie Palmer, Mary Patten, John Ploof, Timothy Porges, Buzz Spector, Reagan Upshaw, & Roberta Upshaw
