ART PAPERS 28.04 - July/Aug 2004

This issue shows artists resisting perceptions of museums or galleries as quiet, white cubes by either creating massive work large enough to dominate exhibition space or reimagining and reinventing those spaces. Highlights include Alix Ohlin's article exploring Matthew Ritchie's reimagination of the gallery as canvas, laboratory, and casino, and Sabir Khan's article on Marjetica Potrc viewing the gallery as her canvas, while turning expectations that accompany entering a museum. Among much more, this issue also includes Joel Weinstein's studio visit with Westen Charles, Michael Friedländer's review of the 2004 Berlin Biennial, Gil Mcelroy's review of Akira yoshikawa's Random and Imposed Order, and David Hall's review of Adela Matasova's installation Hidden Images.
