Set Out

I Walked Quick exhibition in White Cube London unites brand-new works, archival product, and a big in-situ installation by Katharina Grosse, assembling them into a single, constant environment. Instead of following a chronological order, the exhibit links works from different periods, allowing them to communicate across time. Private pieces function as points within a larger network, where relationships move depending upon motion and distance.
Given that the late 1990s, Grosse primarily worked with acrylic pigments used with a commercial spray weapon, a technique that extends the reach of the body and registers the act of painting as movement. The gesture is not consisted of within a surface area but unfolds throughout space, connecting the act of looking with the act of making. This method draws from performance and spatial practices, where limits between artwork, website, and viewer are reduced.
