DANIEL RICH: Flat Earth

"The challenge is to go to that emotional place—to see the architecture from a position of indignation and vulnerability, of powerlessness and power, of rage and hope. Rich invokes the potential productivity of these emotions in Zeitenwende—both the title of paintings in the exhibition, and a concept that he says governs the conceptual underpinning of this exhibition.Meaning 'turning point' or 'watershed moment' in German, the phrase suggests a potential for a pivot, the hope that something can—and will—change."

- Gary Brewer in "A Matter of Perspective"
