While Cory Arcangel issues instructions to Photoshop to create his Gradient pieces («Blue, Red,
Yellow», mousedown y = 5750 x = 8250 and so on) in the manner of a 1970s conceptual artist, the Los Angeles -
based Michael Rey populates his shaped
wall works with a flattened layer of carefully hand - modeled, painted plasticine ground: «The choice of this material began as an experiment,» says Rey, «but continues to reflect my personal anxieties about finitude.»
Vancouver -
based artist Geoffrey Farmer welcomes viewers into the gallery with a
yellow Post-it note stuck to the
wall, and a simple message scrawled in pencil: «It's not the work, it's the worker.»
