Catalogue Note
“At the beginning [working with stripes] was intuition. […] It was the idea to have something very banal, but very strong […] it was a sign, very easy to see and to play [with] - totally different work, completely attached to the site, and opening a different way. I was certainly not thinking I would keep that for so long, but little by little, I was still working with it 50 years later. […] It’s not only something you can recognize; it’s also something I can use to change an environment” (David Buren in conversation with Emily McDermott, ‘Stripes across the Decades’, Interview Magazine, 6 March 2015, online).
