Exhibition description:
The exhibition explored variations of the mark as a visual language and drew upon works from the museum’s permanent collections and loans from other institutions. It charted the progress of the pictorial mark chronologically and thematically, focusing on typography and collage, letters and numbers, the iteration of gesture, signs, and monochrome. As a ‘variation’ of this theme, the exhibition included a one-man show of paintings by British artist Jason Martin titled Vigil. Martin was invited to interpret grade zero with a series of 13 works specifically created for this exhibition.
