[title not known] 1970

Editor: This untitled piece by Blinky Palermo features a simple black square on a white ground. It strikes me as incredibly stark. What do you see in it? Curator: The square, a primal form, echoes alchemical symbols for earth and matter. In its bluntness, it rejects traditional notions of beauty, becoming a potent signifier. What emotional responses are triggered within you by this square? Editor: There is a quiet intensity. It's a bit unsettling, like a void. Curator: Precisely! Palermo presents us with an archetype, inviting contemplation. It serves as a mirror reflecting our own psychological landscapes onto its austere surface. It is a sign. Editor: I never thought of it that way!
