The use of a single, neutral color emphasizes the simplicity and directness of the piece. This contemporary work likely explores the concepts of language, education, and the role of the docent or museum guide in art interpretation and engagement. The stark, typographic style reflects a modernist aesthetic and challenges the viewer to consider the meaning and significance of this single, standalone word. ...

Artist
Michail Pirgelis
B.1976, German

The work of Michail Pirgelis (*1976) updates the traditions of post-minimalism, the readymade and conceptual art while simul- taneously resisting them. His process usually begins with found materials from aircraft cemeteries in California and Arizona, where disused passenger planes wait to be dismantled and recycled. The Cologne-based artist explores the limits of our understanding of objects, while radically expanding our experience of the sculptural.
