For this contribution to the group edition project Table Tableau, John Armleder translates his iconic dot paintings into a new material and chromatic register. Rendered in black on white or white on black laminate, the work preserves the strict seriality and visual rhythm of the white-gold canvases while emphasizing surface, reflection, and material precision. By shifting from hand-painted gesture to industrial production, Armleder highlights the interplay between uniqueness and reproducibility – a recurring theme in his practice – and once again invites reflection on the boundaries between art, design, and decoration.
