Palego, Goodbye 1972

Editor: This is Dieter Roth's "Palego, Goodbye," and it looks like a blueprint, almost architectural, but dreamlike in its blue ink. I'm curious – what feelings or stories does this piece evoke for you? Curator: For me, it's Roth being Roth – playful, yet melancholic. The "goodbye" hints at farewells, maybe to order or even sanity, with that puzzle-piece void. It's as if he's sketching the absurd, the beautiful mess of our minds. Don't you think there's a certain poignancy in its imperfection? Editor: I see that now, the puzzle piece really stands out. It’s like something is missing. Curator: Exactly! It’s open to interpretation, a space for our own goodbyes and missing pieces. Roth encourages us to complete the picture with our emotions. Editor: It makes me think about what I need to let go of. Curator: Art reveals itself in the mirror of ourselves. Thank you, Dieter Roth.
