[no title] 1979

Editor: This untitled print by Gordon House uses simple blue geometric shapes arranged in a grid. It reminds me of architectural blueprints or maybe even textile designs. What can you tell me about its process and materials? Curator: Considering the methodical arrangement and precise lines, I think it’s crucial to examine House's printmaking process and the industrial materials he might have employed. Was this mass-produced or a unique creation? Also, how does its format challenge traditional notions of high art versus functional design? Editor: So, by understanding the “how” it was made and its purpose, we gain a deeper appreciation for its artistic value. Curator: Exactly. Investigating the labor and production involved truly unveils the layers of meaning within this seemingly simple print.
