Rebecca Baumann presents an automated colour field at Art Basel Hong Kong


Today we are also installing Rebecca Baumann's Automated Colour Field (Variation V) in the Encounters section of Art Basel Hong Kong, which has been curated by Yuko Hasegawa. Baumann's new piece consists of 132 split-panel flip clocks, each with the number cards replaced with cards of solid colour, creating a vast and constantly changing field of colour. We'll post an installation view of her piece tomorrow.
