Summary

"Titled after James Joyce's novel, whose events famously unwind on a single day, Spencer Finch's new work ... is a conceptually condensed chronicle of one day's journey, recorded as a series of fleeting colour sensations ... a day of wandering [on September 19, 2014] is documented by a vast progression of color swatches--colors that Finch 'sampled' from his environment using the commercial color-matching system Pantone. With his home city of Brooklyn standing in for Leopold Bloom's Dublin, Finch spent from morning until night, color guide in hand, extracting and abstracting colors from his surroundings. Arrayed in the gallery, the shifts in hue and tone stand in for the artist's physical motion through the urban landscape but also for the movements of his thoughts: the constant shifts in mental direction and attention, inflected by mood and circumstance"--Lisson Gallery website, October 11, 2017.
