"What is crucial to my making of a language and a cosmology of signs is the type of repetition that is central to a lot of the music I am listening to right now. . . . I start off with a limited class of signs and, like stacking in music, I chop and revisit the changes to build structure." —Ellen Gallagher Wishing a happy birthday to Ellen Gallagher, who was born on this day, December 16, in Providence, Rhode Island! Gallagher has invented a densely saturated visual language in which overlapping patterns, motifs, and materials pulse with life. Work by Gallagher is featured in a number of group exhibitions including “Les Portes du Possible: Art & Science-Fiction" at the Centre Pompidou-Metz (@centrepompidoumetz_) and "In the Black Fantastic" at Kunsthal Rotterdam (@kunsthal).
