Everyone seems to have an opinion about beige as a colour or its associations (perhaps more than many other colours), and it has proven to be surprisingly challenging for some participants, but at the same time surprisingly easy for others. Reactions to beige are perhaps just as diverse as the colour itself and that is clearly visible in how the participants have tackled this project.

BEIGE is at the same time an investigation/experiment and explores notions such as: How did the participants react to the theme? What was it like to make a monochrome work? What happens to the space when all of the works are in the same colour? How does it affect us (as viewers) when we only have one colour or nuances of the same colour to look at?
The result is a constellation of strong and sometimes unexpected expressions, which encourage curiosity and a dialogue about this somewhat loaded colour.
