Catalogue Note
“On gray grounds appear black or white silhouettes of objects and bodies. But unlike flashcards, which idealize objects by turning them into icons so that they can be easily identified, Baldessari’s home-brewed flashcards are based on the way things actually look in the world, where they are seen from odd angles, are partially blocked by other objects or are shrouded in shadows… In every instance, Baldessari’s language games lure the imagination into action by making ordinary images and everyday objects strangely fascinating.”
