This artist publication is signed and numbered by the artist in an edition of 250. Texts by Tirdad Zolghadr (Touchdowns, thoughts on hermetics vs. hermeneutics) and Diane Bent (Abstraction: You know it’s the smell).</p> <p><em>THRILLOCHROMES</em> imagines a subterranean world where such overblown directives (Dismantle… ! Infiltrate… !) are the scores for a collection of trench-coated operatives in a series of abstract thriller films which lead to the creation of excruciatingly beige monochromes. The work consists of six monochromes and six corresponding short films playing on tropes of TV procedurals and espionage films.</p>
