0 Bitumen 2 27-Sep

Editor: This is "0 Bitumen 2," produced by F. Weber & Company. It appears to be pigment in a jar. What stands out to you about this piece? Curator: The materiality is key here. Bitumen, derived from petroleum, speaks to industrial processes infiltrating art. Consider its historical context—mass production, distribution networks, and the labor involved in creating these artist materials. How does this challenge traditional notions of artistic creation? Editor: That's a great point. It makes me think about where art begins. Thanks for sharing your insights! Curator: And thank you for making me consider the broader implications of art supplies and their significance.
