Editorial Review

With his "Remembrancer" installation at Curator's Office, artist Alberto Gaitan does Color School one better. Even as 1960s-era abstractionists sought to obliterate traces of the artist's hand under a flurry of stipples and stains, their gestures were almost always felt. Through a complex series of computer protocols, Gaitan exchanges the artist's intention with that of the machine. Information culled from Internet traffic drives robotic arms that release paint onto three graph-paper-like "canvases" every day. The paintings will be "done" a week before the show closes, so go now to witness his automated paintings in action.
