“The monochrome is a document that tells us of nothing but its own circulation, presenting the pure possibility of communication by a possible artist. And if the artist no longer locates himself in manual space, if the picture is automatic, then the painter is somewhere out here on the floor with us, another dislocation. Here is where black is momentarily extracted from its program, casting a shadow that’s as good-looking as Kasimir Malevich and Calvin Klein.”
