Following is an excerpt from a conversation between Chris Ashley and Tilman,
Tilman, by Chris Ashley
MINUS SPACE, June-August 2006 :
CA: The color is material, first. It could be the natural color of the material, or painted, or printed, or the color is applied in some way. It’s a property of the object. Of course, color is made possible by light, but how does the color move from being a physical thing to being simply light?
T: In early Greek philosophy, light is described as the fourth element, the ether; they called it Olkas, a carrier which holds all together. That’s what I am trying to say with simply light, making a reference to this thought. So color, yes, as a material it becomes a carrier of thought, something essential, so to say.
And finally, as August steamrolls past us, Julie Gross sums it up:
"...Orange...the warmest color

I like those paintings very much and they are familiar to me -- the center image
Thanks so much for reading
Best,

Hi Kate
I am not wild about orange normally but you have an unerring eye for choosing very beautiful works to accompany your thoughts. I like the Jackson one, quite Rothko really, and I love the Alexander one. Wonderful summery theme.

Thanks for posting about this show. I only wish I could see things like this around here. Gonna try to get my ass to NYC soon.
