Titanium White 

Editor: Here we have 'Titanium White' by Hatfield's Color Shop, Inc. It seems to be a jar of pigment displayed next to a color chart. What do you make of this? Curator: It forces us to consider the means of production. The jar, the label, even the color chart, are all products of specific labor and industrial processes. Editor: So, not just about the end result, but about the labor that makes it possible? Curator: Precisely! It challenges the traditional hierarchy placing the artist above the manufacturer, raising questions about the value we place on different kinds of making. What does it mean to display the raw material itself, rather than a finished artwork? Editor: I never considered the social implications of paint before! This is so interesting! Curator: Materiality matters, and so does the labor behind it.
