In his 2010 exhibition at Von Lintel Gallery in New York the altered gallery, painted with a band of chalkboard black, refers to the photographic darkroom as well as the classroom. Employing a range of tools such as drywall snap lines, stencils, and pounce bags, Marco Breuer uses chalk to add notations, measurements, diagrams, and marks. The improvisatory nature of the installation is intended to highlight Breuer's relationship to the darkroom as a place where ideas and images are not merely executed, but generated and considered.
