Pallet Show (est.2022)
Pallet Show was conceived by Daniel Pryde-Jarman and Nat Pitt.
Curated exhibitions using the pallet as the support structure and mode of display. The pallets are themselves artworks, exploring the line between minimalist sculpture and functional objects. Sculptures that also have the capacity to perform a function, and an experiment in how art objects might be (re)purposed to take on the role of support structures or hosts for other works and ideas within an exhibition context.
Pallet Show is informed by the mass transit of artworks in the art market and global economy, and the logistics of their movement from, to, and between, sites of storage and display.
Pallets are signifiers of trade that wear the markings of the workings of these interconnected systems. Pallet Show blurs the distinction between the movement and storage of works at
The shows will appear provisional, in transit, and under construction, in flux. The project is inspired by the forms and legacy of minimalist sculpture, including the furniture sculptures of Donald Judd, ‘simulated readymades’ of Fischli and Weiss, and Seth Siegelaub’s curatorial projects.
