“When you’re looking at two things, don’t look at them, look between them . . . The space between two things, that’s very important.” –John Baldessari

About

John Baldessari’s The Space Between (all works 2019) is the final series that the artist completed before his death in January 2020 at the age of 88. It comprises inkjet prints on canvas that reproduce found imagery overlaid with fields of white and black acrylic paint. These brushy passages blot out elements of each original scene, and in doing so leave particular people, objects and areas exposed. Below, lines of text bring the eye to elements within this visual network.

The series’ thirty canvases exhibit Baldessari’s characteristic combination of text and image and testify to the artist’s unending urge to question the manner in which we find meaning amid the multitude of signs, symbols and gestures that structure our lives.
