Pentimenti Gallery

What you can encounter

Pentimenti presents contemporary work that tests conventional materials and aesthetics. Its programme includes established international artists and emerging practitioners. The district lists the gallery on North Second Street.

Try this when you visit

Begin with the material, then the image. Ask whether the work is made from something you normally encounter outside a gallery. Look at the edges, joints and gaps: the way a work is constructed can change how you read its subject. Comparing two pieces by the same artist often makes a repeated decision easier to notice.

A question to take with you

What does this material add that a photograph of the same subject would not?
