There’s an enviable freedom inherent in pop up exhibitions, and I had to wonder if a gallery or
regional museum would take a flier on the way these works on paper were presented. Using shiny
bulldog clips to hang the heavy vellum paper, and letting the pale gray, wintry sunlight creep along
the wall to add a sliver of feeble sun to the gallery lighting, the curators added refreshing
provisional and improvisational notes of the casual to a show that would have seemed duller in a
museum—with uv-resistant glass dividing the viewer from the subtle surface of the ink and heavy duty wall texts with formal explanations.
