    POLLY APFELBAUM: Anything can happen in a horse race

    Milton Keynes Gallery, UK
    31 January - 22 March 2009

    Milton Keynes Gallery presents American artist Polly Apfelbaum’s first solo exhibition in a UK public gallery. Apfelbaum’s work is characterised by an exacting investigation into colour and form, mainly manifesting itself as expansive floor-based installations.

    For this exhibition Apfelbaum will create three installations that refer to three famous American gambling cities. In _Atlantic City_, Apfelbaum will explore the graphic possibilities of black, capitalising on the use of positive and negative shapes. _Reno_, a silver-themed room will explore silver’s capacity to reflect and capture other colours while _Las Vegas_ will be a multi-coloured room featuring thirteen colours in sequence.
