Anthony White 'Mobilising Material' Mark Rothko Art Centre, Latvia, 2022
Published to accompany the artist’s first solo museum exhibition, “Mobilising Material” held at the Mark Rothko Art Centre, Daugavpils Fortress, Latvia, 8 July – 16 October 2022.
“In this new era of Bonapartism Latvia’s Daugavpils Fortress is an apt venue for an exhibition of recent work by Paris-based artist and activist Anthony White. Co-funded by the European Union, the fortress’s former artillery arsenal became the home of the Mark Rothko Art Centre in 2013. The inspired decision to show White’s work in the context of Latvia’s most important artist, within the walls of its most important national architectural monument, follows White’s participation in the International Painting Symposium hosted by The Mark Rothko Centre in 2017. Like Rothko, who resisted the orthodoxy of his time, the paintings presented here continue White’s prolonged interest in the canvas as a site of resistance; their urgent, bodily gestures recalling centuries of dissidence and struggle against the gaze of authority.”
