Remarks on Colour

KBK, Brussels, 24 April — 11 May, 2025

Taking its name from Wittgenstein's 1950 collection of writings, Remarks on Colour brings together the work of artists who engage with colour from a conceptual, speculative, performative, or archival approach. How does color operate beyond the purely visual? What is its relationship to language, and how is it still shaped by cultural, aesthetic, and intellectual biases? How does it function as a sign, and what symbolic meanings does it carry? Through the work of contemporary artists, this exhibition explores the shifting significance of color and its complex place in art, philosophy, and everyday life. An extensive program of public activities invites visitors to explore the prismatic phenomenon of color further.

Participating artists: Josef Bauer, David Batchelor, Christine Demias, Nicole Hassler, LAb[au], Emanuele Marcuccio, Katja Mater, Wesley Meuris, Jean Katambayi Mukendi, Ioana Nemeș, Richard Sides
