VALUBL OBJX: Afterword [CODA]

Artist: Paul McLean

In VALUBL OBJX: Afterword [CODA], I explored the phenomenon of Post-Show Mode (PSM), a condition, I stipulate, that affects artists when their exhibit closes.

PPSM typically involves the reformulation of the artist’s project, is future-oriented, is informed by the recent artist’s experience in and after the art “happening,” and other factors, some internal, within the artist, and others, external to art.
