Der White Cube – eine Errungenschaft?

Brian O'Doherty, Fünf Identitäten, 2002, Archivpigmentdruck auf Aluminium, 124,5 x 124,5 cm, Fotografie von Anthony Hobbs;

The "white cube" has become established as a global term for the neutral, objective exhibition space, regardless of whether it is a private gallery or a public institution. The ”white cell“, the exhibition space purified of all traces of everyday life and clinical at times, still represents a normative instance today - an "international style" of art presentation, so to speak - and not only in aesthetic terms. In his essay "Inside the White Cube", the Irish-American artist and author Brian O'Doherty (1928–2022) questioned its ideological conditions and thus made one of the most influential contributions to the critique of Western art exhibition practice.
