DESCRIPTION

The hall represents an exposition of four paintings of the ‘classic’ minimalist type: they are monotone, gray dull color and naturally, there is nothing depicted on them whatsoever, they are matte and soft … Suddenly the viewer discovers that these dark gray squares hanging up are made of the very same material as the floor they are walking upon.
