VERNACULAR
Dan Schwalm + Taiyo Watanabe, 2020
Digital Prints

"Exactly.  And that leads somewhere else.  This is my hope - that I always get somewhere I can't find otherwise.  Always try to find new ways.  An unknown landscape.  This is a very poetic affront.  I think that's what often happens, that you go into the fog and feel your way through."
- Rudolf Polanszky. "Rudolf Polanszky." Interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist.  Gagosian Quarterly,  Winter 2019 Issue.
