point-counterpoint:

For this project White has collected artists’ monograph books and blacked out every occurrence of name, artwork and likeness of the artist in each book; essentially rendering the book useless to anyone wishing to view the artists’ work. Although images and names are censored it is still possible to deduce which artist the book is about from the descriptions in the uncensored text.

The intention of this work is to create a space where art did once, but now does not exist; as if it has been removed from history. By censoring in such a harsh fashion White is directly referencing extreme regimes (Stalinist Russia, Fascism, Orwell’s ‘1984’ etc.) where figures who had fallen foul of their leaders were removed physically and psychologically - photos altered/blacked out, history rewritten, the uttering of their names forbidden, thinking of them forbidden.
