Chronic Monochrome 

On 7 July, the publication Chronic Monochrome by artist Tirzo Martha will be released. This publication, edited by Eleonoor Jap Sam and designed by Mainstudio’s Edwin van Gelder, focuses on the eponymous series of some 30 near-white works from 2021-2022.  Martha previously presented these white monochrome installations in 2022 under the title Chronic Monochrome at the Museo di Kòrsou and at his studio Fruteria Bashí  on the Capriles Clinic site. The works were created after the artist was admitted to hospitals in Colombia and Curaçao in 2018 following a heart infection. A selection from this series is also on display in the Netherlands for the first time in the Intensive Care exhibition at museum van Bommel van Dam.
