Mel Bochner - If the Colour Changes

Opens: 12/10/2012 Closes: 30/12/2012 Whitechapel Gallery, London.

The Observer“There are some almost classically boring works involving measurements...” Anyone with the mildest case of synaesthesia will have a jarring time of it with some of these paintings, where the same words come squeegeed in cacophonously multicoloured arrays. But something of this condition permeates the ideas behind the work..
