X Museum is pleased to present ‘Particularities’ from 5 Spetember to 5 December, 2021. ‘Particularities’ is a group exhibition about contemporary, small-scale painting. At a time of increasing scale, expansion and general hypertrophy, this exhibition trains its gaze on painting practices that do the exact opposite. Inevitably considering small-scale painting as an ethical and ecological position, it responds to and builds upon the work of approximately twenty international artists working in the medium of painting today. Subject matter and modes of painting may vary, one thing all of these artists definitely have in common is a tendency toward economy of scale. And although formal modesty is the filament that binds them together, they otherwise remain wholly themselves, radiating like so many irreducible parts of a provisional constellation of contemporary painting.
