White Hot
Smack Mellon Studios, New York
White Hot features a selection of works that examine the various incarnations of the color white. A wide range of works from painting to installation to site-specific projects to sound pieces, will in some way be white, or reference a property of whiteness - either expanding on minimalism's sublimations and/or activating metaphoric, psychological, socio/political and spiritual degrees of the color (or non-color) and its own references to supremacy, asceticism, innocence, banality and purity.
Curated by Regine Basha and Moukhtar Kocache

Taking over Smack Mellon - a space left stained by its former function
as a spice factory - 'white hot' is not so much a curatorial theme as it
is an improvisational exercise between curators and artists set against
the challenges of time and space. In a futile effort to 'whiten' the space,
the show also calls attention to the demise of the 'white cube' and
foregrounds the architecture of Smack Mellon's industrial history.
